Steel square. The steel square is a tool that carpenters use. They use many tools to lay out a square or right-angle, many of which are made of steel, but the title steel square refers to a specific long-armed square that has additional uses for measurement, especially of angles, as well as simple right-angles.
At present appeals from the Sheriff Court in civil cases can be made either to the Sheriff Principal or direct to the Inner House of the Court of Session. The choice is largely down to the parties. The Bill sets up a new Sheriff Appeal Court which is intended to hear the vast majority of appeals from Sheriff Courts.
If certiorari is granted, the time frame for the parties involved in the case is set. The petitioner (the party that has requested the Court review the case), has 45 days to file their âbrief on the meritsâ, which lays out their arguments to the court. The respondents (the other party) then has 30 days to respond.
