Goods of sentimental value
There is protection for the client against goods of sentimental value being attached during the execution of an exceptional attachment.
1s52 DAA(S)A 2002Unlike for exempt goods, there is not a list of sentimental goods in the legislation. It is generally the sheriff officer’s judgement, but a client can challenge any goods which have been exceptionally attached which they consider to have sentimental value, as long as it is worth no more than £150 – eg, a wedding ring.
