The Sheriff Court Rules Council's function is to review the procedure and practice in civil proceedings in the Sheriff Court. The Court of Session then reviews the Council's proposals from which it will modify existing rules in the form of a statutory instrument known as an "Act of Sederunt". On the Aug 18, 2009, a new Act of Sederunt was introduced which could cause creditors difficulty in recovering monies properly due to them where the contractual agreement is regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974. This is because the Rules of Court will be altered for all relevant claims commencing on Dec 1, 2009. Whilst implementation of the change has been postponed it is still being considered.

Is an intermediate appeals court needed in West Virginia?

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius isn't making any guarantees about whether she will call the Legislature back to Topeka to address the school funding debate --- only that she won't do so anytime soon.
The Democratic governor said again Thursday she would wait to make a decision about a special session until after the Kansas Supreme Court rules this fall on the constitutionality of the state's school funding formula.
