 to Court Locations and Payment of Fines and Financial Penalties

in Tayside, Central and Fife

 

CHANGES TO DISTRICT COURTS

 

THE CHANGES 

On 23 February 2009 District Courts in Tayside, Central and Fife will become Justice of the Peace Courts. This will be the fourth stage in a phased programme of unifying the administration of Scotland’s courts under the management of the Scottish Court Service (SCS). 

The main changes will be that: District Court in Tayside, Central and Fife will be known as Justice of the Peace Courts. 

Changes to Court Locations

Perth, Dunfermline, Falkirk and Stirling Justice of the Peace Courts will relocate to the Sheriff Court buildings in these towns as soon as this can be arranged.

-         The current plan would see the move in Falkirk take place by March 2009 and those in Stirling and Dunfermline by February 2010.

-         Plans for the move in Perth are still being developed. In the interim, Perth, Dunfermline, Stirling and Falkirk Justice of the Peace Courts will sit in the former district court until they can be accommodated in the sheriff court.
