Claiming Under Scots Law

Personal injury claims in Scotland follow distinct procedural rules. Court proceedings are issued in the All-Scotland Personal Injury Court at Edinburgh Sheriff Court for most cases, with the Court of Session reserved for higher-value claims. The substantive duties owed by employers are very similar to those in England and Wales.
