The Scottish Civil Justice Council was established in May 2013. Its remit is: to keep the civil justice system under review; to review practice and procedure in the Court of Session and in civil proceedings in the sheriff court; to prepare and submit to the Court of Session draft civil procedure rules; to provide advice and make recommendations to the Lord President on the development of, and changes to, the civil justice system; and to advise on any matter relating to the civil justice system as requested by the Lord President. In addition to amendments to Court Rules, the Council’s web site provides information on its committees, including minutes of meetings, annual reports 2013/14 onwards, and current consultations.
