This Act of Sederunt amends the Act of Sederunt (Messengers-at-Arms and Sheriff Officers Rules) 1991 so as to substitute references to a sheriff clerk nominated by the Secretary of State for references to a regional sheriff clerk. The amendments are necessary as a result of organisational changes in the Scottish Court Service.
