Clarification as to the requirements for the registration of a Court Order has been provided on this page. Distinction has been made between the requirements for the Court of Session and the Sheriff Court, as noted below:
Extracts
The order of a court, sometimes called an interlocutor, can be 'extracted' - that is, the court can produce a formal document confirming the terms of the order issued by the court.
An extract from the Court of Session will be impressed with a stamp on each page and signed on the last page by an official of the court, whereas an extract from the Sheriff Court will be signed by the Sheriff Clerk on the last page but the pages themselves will not be stamped. This is an important distinction.
A handwritten alteration will generally be authenticated by the initials of the official of the court extracting.
