Act of Sederunt (Devolution Issues) (Appeals and References to the Supreme Court) 2009
This Act of Sederunt amends Chapter 25A of the Rules of the Court of Session (devolution issues). It also amends the Act of Sederunt (Proceedings for Determination of Devolution Issues Rules) 1999 which applies to devolution proceedings in civil proceedings in the sheriff court. Both are amended in consequence of the establishment of the Supreme Court by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and the transfer from the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council to the Supreme Court of jurisdiction in relation to devolution issues arising under the Scotland Act 1998, the Northern Ireland Act 1998 and the Government of Wales Act 2006.
