Court context
Courts serving Aberdeen
CPR Part 35 does NOT apply in Scotland. The Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (rule 2.1) apply only to proceedings in the County Court, the High Court and the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal — courts of England and Wales.
In Scots law an expert witness is traditionally termed a 'skilled witness'; the terms are used interchangeably in Scottish judicial guidance.
Local context
Examination practicalities
These local reference points are included as context for examinations and records, not as a statement that a listed practitioner holds a post at any named organisation.
Supreme civil court
The Court of Session, Scotland's supreme civil court, sits only in Edinburgh (Parliament House); higher-value Aberdeen claims are raised there or in the All-Scotland Sheriff Personal Injury Court in Edinburgh.
Sheriff court threshold
Under s.39 Courts Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, civil claims with an aggregate value of £100,000 or less (exclusive of interest and expenses) must be raised in the sheriff court and may not be brought in the Court of Session (exclusive competence, in force since 22 September 2015).
Personal injury court
The All-Scotland Sheriff Personal Injury Court (based at Edinburgh Sheriff Court) has Scotland-wide jurisdiction, so Aberdeen personal injury actions exceeding £5,000 (workplace claims exceeding £1,000) may be raised there; established by SSI 2015/213.

Frequently asked questions
Where would a Aberdeen assessment take place?
Each listing names its consulting locations and assessment types before you make contact: face-to-face appointments are held at the practitioner's own premises, and remote assessment removes the journey altogether where the case suits it. Nothing about the logistics is left to be discovered after instruction.
What if the specialty my case needs has no Aberdeen listing?
The instruction is still covered. Location results automatically include practitioners who assess remotely, each labelled with where they are actually based - so a Aberdeen search never ends at an empty page while a remote-capable specialist exists on the register.
Can I shortlist Aberdeen experts by sub-specialty, expertise or gender?
Yes - the register filters by category, specialty and specific medico-legal expertise as well as location, and every listing displays the practitioner's gender and experience. A Aberdeen search can start from the precise question in issue and a sensitive-instruction preference at the same time.
