Civil courts caveat portal now live
The new caveat portal is now live, the Scottish Courts & Tribunals Service has confirmed. Solicitors can now submit caveats to all sheriff courts and the Court of Session via the portal.
For solicitors who have already registered for the portal, invitations will be sent out in small batches over the next seven days. Should you have any problems registering once the link is received please contact the Civil Lab: civilonlinelab@scotcourts.gov.uk.
For those who have not already registered but would like to access the portal, the following details are required for each individual requiring access:
- name;
- email address;
- solicitor firm;
- solicitor firm address;
- payment account to which caveat payment will be charged.
This information should be emailed to civilonlinelab@scotcourts.gov.uk.
The service is only available to solicitors who have a credit account with the SCTS. Note that this is a new service separate from Civil Online, and requires fresh registration in order to obtain access.
A demonstration of the new service can be arranged by contacting the above email address.
