To mark the occasion an event was held on Monday 12 June at Surgeons Quarter, Edinburgh, where members past and previous, from both Council and Committees, heard a speech from the Lord President on the trials, tribulations and successes of the Council over the last decade. 

He said: ‘Since its first meeting on 10 June 2013, the SCJC has approved 110 Acts of Sederunt, conducted 11 consultations on a wide range of topics and set up 6 committees to consider and agree the underpinning policy for new rules. A number of significant pieces of work have been completed. These include the rules concerning: the new Sheriff Appeal Court and All-Scotland Sheriff Personal Injury Court; the Personal Injury Pre-Action Protocol; the new Simple Procedure; case management of sheriff court family law actions; the new group proceedings; Qualified On-Way Cost Shifting; and Protective Expenses Orders. It has implemented Civil online and progressed the SCTS Digital Justice Strategy. I name but a few of the SCJC’s achievements.’
