Hi all
I need some advice from anyone who has made a claim in a Scottish court.
Is it true that the max claim that can be made in Scottish small claims is £750, if this is true it is very worrying forme, as I am trying to claim back £1395.

Steve,
Without wanting to sound patronising, you need to read up a little more on case studies and FAQs if you can't answer this one. It's important to make sure you know what you are doing so you can preempt any problems rather than waiting for someone on the forums to sort it for you!!
In respose, yes you are correct, 750 is the maximum. It's quite straightforward to resolve this. Make two claims. However you split it is up to you. Find a date where either side of it the amounts are less than 750 then you can claim from start date to this date then another claim from this date to end date.
If my post has been useful, tip my scales and let me know

Hi Steve
Alternatively you could raise an action called Summary Cause which means you can claim from £750 up to £1500 instead of splitting into 2 small claims. The cost of this is the same - £39. You will find all the info you need here Summary Cause Guidance Notes
You can complete the forms (1 & 1b) online then print off and hand into your nearest Sheriff Court.
Hope this helps

Thanks T4FF
I have read the FQA's and others threads and know a lot more about the process.
I will probably raise two claims, but I looking at the summery cause raised tanzi10.
Thanks for you help

I have never heard of this process, I was about to start raising to claims in the small claims court, but I will look at summery cause first.
Have you or do you know of someone who has used this process.
Thanks you've have been a great help.
