§
Lords amendment: No. 25, in page 27, line 38, at end insert—
() On good cause being shown, the sheriff may hear an appeal under this section notwithstanding that it was not lodged within the time mentioned in subsection (2) above.
§ Mr. MillanI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
This amendment enables a sheriff to hear an appeal which would otherwise be time-barred on good cause being shown to him. This matter was raised with me during Report when flexibility was asked for. I think that the amendment gives some flexibility.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Lords Amendment No. 26 agreed to.
