Court context
Courts serving Inverness
Scotland has its own court system. High Court District Registries are a feature of the courts of England and Wales, created by the Civil Courts Order 2014, and have no counterpart in Scotland.
Inverness lies in the Sheriffdom of Grampian, Highland and Islands, alongside Aberdeen, Banff, Elgin, Fort William, Kirkwall, Lerwick, Lochmaddy, Peterhead, Portree, Stornoway, Tain and Wick.

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.
Court venue
Venue: Inverness Justice Centre, Longman Road, Inverness IV1 1AH. Described by SCTS as 'A court in the Sheriffdom of Grampian, Highland and Islands'. It opened on 30 March 2020; the sheriff clerk's office is open 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 4pm Monday to Friday, and the building 9am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and 9am to 4:30pm on Friday. The building also houses the procurator fiscal, Police Scotland, Citizens Advice and others.
Sheriff court threshold
Under section 39 of the Courts Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, civil claims with an aggregate value of £100,000 or less, excluding interest and expenses, must be raised in the sheriff court and cannot be brought in the Court of Session.
Supreme civil court
The Court of Session sits only in Edinburgh, at Parliament House, Parliament Square EH1 1RQ, alongside the High Court of Justiciary. Its jurisdiction covers the whole of Scotland, so a Court of Session action raised from Inverness is heard in Edinburgh.

Frequently asked questions
Where would a Inverness 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 Inverness listing?
The instruction is still covered. Location results automatically include practitioners who assess remotely, each labelled with where they are actually based - so a Inverness search never ends at an empty page while a remote-capable specialist exists on the register.
Can I shortlist Inverness 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 Inverness search can start from the precise question in issue and a sensitive-instruction preference at the same time.
