Extracted decision

Part 15 of the Simple Procedure Rules deals with how the successful party enforces a decision when it has been extracted. When a decision has been awarded by the sheriff court in favour of the claimant and no recall or appeal has been lodged, then generally the claimant will want to enforce the decision. They must wait 28 days from the date of the decision before they can enforce the decision. After the 28 days, they can serve the respondent with a charge for payment which gives the respondent 14 days to settle the debt before the claimant enforce diligence.
