| Case | Date | Legal Subject | Abstract |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knox v. Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow | 1798 | Procurator, Charter, Faculty, Penalty, Interlocutor, Contract | Hugh Knox, Writer in Glasgow, petitioned the Court against the Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow, seeking to remit their regulation that imposed £30 of entry money upon him on the grounds that his apprenticeship had ended before the regulation was enacted and the charge was therefore retrospective and oppressive. The Faculty answered, defending the regulation against his claims. |
| Marshall v. Youngson | 1798 | Procurator, Court of Session, Agent, Interlocutor, Clerks of Session, Jurisdiction | James Marshall, Writer to the Signet, petitioned the Court to alter a recent interlocutor respecting the offices held by Alexander Youngson. Youngson answered, defending his concurrent practice as procurator before the High Court of Admiralty and Writer to the Signet on the ground that the two roles were not incompatible. The dispute turned on whether the office of Writer to the Signet could be held consistently with acting as a procurator in the Admiralty Court. |
| Smyth v. Bushby | 1794 | Advocation, Process, Sist, Procurator, Adjudication, Court of Session | In the bill of advocation between Smyth and Bushby, the sheriff-clerks of Scotland moved the Court to recall an order that had permitted transmission of inferior court processes to the bill-chamber without warrant or security. The Clerks to the Bills opposed this relief, contending that the practice of granting two successive orders for production of inferior court process in such bills had been uniform since 1765. |
