Section 143 – Expenses of residual attachment
409.This section provides that the expenses incurred by the creditor in carrying out the residual attachment will be chargeable against the debtor and can be recovered only by the attachment and not by any other legal process. Any expenses not recovered by the time the residual attachment is completed will cease to be chargeable against the debtor. Subsection (5) gives the court power, if satisfied that the debtor has objected on frivolous grounds to an application for a satisfaction order, to award expenses against the debtor not exceeding an amount prescribed by the Scottish Ministers by regulations.
