This is where the new procedure differs from the old. This is because the starting point requires that the Sheriff has to consider the case in private if the Respondent disputes the claim. Thereafter the Sheriff has to send parties ‘first written orders’ within two weeks from the date the court has received the Response Form.

The first written order may do one of five things: refer the parties to alternative dispute resolution; arrange a case management discussion; arrange a hearing; if the Sheriff thinks that a decision could be made without a hearing, indicate that the Sheriff is considering doing so; and use the Sheriff’s powers to dismiss a claim or decide a case under the rules.

Hmm. That and also ...

It is, perhaps, this last option that will be attractive to claimants if they are faced with a wholly irrelevant defence. The rules provide that ‘if a response obviously will not succeed because it is incompetent, the Sheriff may decide a case...at any time.’

What's the definition of "incompetent"? Remember that the majority of cases involve unrepresented defendants with no experience of the court system.

Brings to mind that well known saying from PPC world:

Litigate to accumulate.
