Assuming that 25% of the average number of actions raised in the Court of Session raise issues of contract formation then the following costs estimate for the SCTS as a result of an increase in actions would be as follows: 5): £6,630 • No increase (3 cases 6 • 5% increase (4 cases ): £8,840 (+ £2,210). 3 That is, one quarter of the number of average of defended cases. 4 In 2019/20 there was 1 action raised; in 2020/21 there were 12; in 2021/22 there were 14; in 2022/23 there were 19; and in 2023/24 there were 19 actions. 5 That is, one quarter of the 11 average cases raised in the Court of Session. 6 Both a 1% and 5% increase in actions raised result in a functional rise of 1 case.
