[1] For the reasons given by myself in my Opinion in relation to the case of Adeline Bowden, I shall sustain the defenders' plea to the relevancy so far as it relates to issues raised by section 17 of the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973. I shall exclude from further consideration the averments in Condescendence 5. Quoad ultra I shall allow a preliminary proof in relation to the averments in Condescendence and Answer 7 relating to the issues focused under section 19A of the same Act.
