Grant a disputed time to pay direction

If a defender has submitted a time to pay application which has been challenged by the pursuer, the sheriff hears arguments from the defendant and the pursuer. The sheriff can grant a decree to the pursuer and grant time to pay to the defender at the same time. This allows the defender to repay the debt at the amount offered in the application, and, although a decree has been awarded, the pursuer cannot take any further action against the defender while the TTPD is being paid. If the defender fails to make the agreed payments and the TTPD fails, the pursuer can extract the decree without waiting and begin to pursue further diligence.
