Defending a Court Action

If you receive recorded delivery post and have to sign for a letter whose envelope has a “return” address of a Sheriff Court, or if Sheriff Officers attend your home to serve documents, you may find someone has raised a court action against you. Scottish court actions usually have a notice period of 21 days. In other words, you have 3 weeks to decide how to react and, in particular, whether to defend the action. At MJC LAW we can advise you on what type of action may be being raised against you. Our legal team has over 25 years experience defending actions in sheriff courts. We will attend court and defend your case on your behalf.

MJC LAW’s commitment to excellence and personalised service ensures that clients are not only well-defended but also supported throughout the entire legal process, fostering confidence and peace of mind during challenging times.
