JUDGMENTS EXTENSION ACT 1868 - SECT 2

Registration of English and Irish judgments in Edinburgh.

2. Where judgment shall hereafter be obtained or entered up in any of the
Courts of Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, or Exchequer at Westminster or Dublin
respectively for any debt, damages, or costs, on production at the office kept
in Edinburgh for the registration of deeds, bonds, protests, and other writs
registered in the books of council and session of a certificate of such
judgment, in one of the forms contained in the schedule hereto annexed, as the
case may be, purporting to be signed by the proper officer of the court where
such judgment has been obtained or entered up, such certificate shall be
registered in a book to be kept for that purpose, and to be called "The
Register for English and Irish Judgments", in like manner, as a bond executed
according to the law of Scotland, with a clause of registration for execution
therein contained; and every certificate so registered shall from the date of
such registration be of the same force and effect as a decreet of the Court of
Session, and all proceedings shall and may be had and taken on an extract of
such certificate as if the judgment of which it is a certificate had been a
decreet originally pronounced in the Court of Session on the date of such
registration as aforesaid; and all the reasonable costs, charges, and expenses
attendant upon the obtaining and registering such certificate shall be
recovered in like manner as if the same were part of the original judgment:
Provided always, that no certificate of any such judgment shall be registered
as aforesaid more than twelve months after the date of such judgment, unless
application shall have been first made to and leave obtained from the Lord
Ordinary on the Bills.
