Time to pay orders were introduced by the Debtors (Scotland) Act 1987 which came into force on 30 November 1988. Applications for time to pay orders can only be granted by the court after a decree for payment has been made and diligence against the debtor has commenced. The Debtors (Scotland) Act 1987 (Amendment) Regulations 2000 raise the limit for which it is competent for courts to grant a time to pay order from £10,000 to £25,000 with effect from 10 July 2000. This amendment will apply to applications for time to pay orders made after 10 July 2000.
