Sorry, I don't know off the top of my head. However, the following link is kept up to date and there are regular posters giving feedback from around the country. Hope it helps.

 

You can ask the court what their approach is.

Here is a good link which gives phone numbers and locations of sheriff courts

 

Court Locations

 

Out of curiosity, I today phoned one court randomly.

 

This happened to be Dingwall.

 

The clerk there advised me that cases were proceeding as normal, ie as before announcement of OFT test case. Banks are not defending in all cases, they are in others. Where they are defending, they are requesting sists (stays). These are not automatically granted as the Sheriff will still consider the case on its merits.

 

I am awaiting feedback from Inverness.

 

No harm in phoning for an update in your court area. Good luck!!

Just skoke to Greenock Sheriff Court postively encouraging you to file claim. Gave me web page and fee amount. Any that have been heard at Greenock won as bank did not defend. Lady i spoke to was very helpful she was just pleased not to be dealing with the usual murderers, drug dealers and thieves in this wild west town...
