Commentary on Sections Part 1: Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Chapter 1: Mutual Service of Process etc. Section 5: General requirements for effecting Scottish citation etc.
34.This section is the Scottish equivalent to section 3. It reflects the provisions of section 3 but refers to the Scottish term “citation” rather than “process”. In criminal proceedings in Scotland “citation” is the term used for the procedure whereby someone is called to court to answer an action or give evidence as a witness.
