Act of Sederunt (Sheriff Court Rules) (Equality Act 2010) 2010
This Act of Sederunt amends the Ordinary Cause Rules, the Summary Application Rules, the Summary Cause Rules and the Small Claim Rules in consequence of the Equality Act 2010. The 2010 Act consolidates and harmonises the legislation referred to in the existing court rules under the term “equality enactments”. The 2010 Act also extends protection from discrimination because of age to the provision of goods, facilities and services and the exercise of public functions. The relevant rules are therefore amended to reflect the changes introduced by the 2010 Act. Paragraph 6 contains a savings provision.
