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.
Clinical setting
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.
Teaching presence
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).
Coroner area
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.
