This original work provides a practical guide for non-Scottish legal practitioners who may face the question ""can there a Scottish dimension to this problem?"" and ""if so, can tactical advantage be taken?"" This book demonstrates how cross-border tactics may be invoked even where there is little or no connection with the Scots jurisdiction.
The book offers an authoritative and up-to-date section on choice of jurisdiction. The powerful Scots interim protective measures (relating to evidence and security) are examined in detail from a UK perspective. Those more familiar with the English system of procedure will find dealing with the Scottish system easy to assimilate with the help of flow charts. The timescales of litigation and costs of cross-border insolvency are discussed.
