The nobile officium is the extraordinary equitable jurisdiction of the Court of Session (or, in the criminal context, the High Court of Justiciary). Despite its many uses, most litigators are still unfamiliar with the power of the nobile officium. What is it? When can you rely on it? And how can you petition it?

This webinar concentrates on petitioning the nobile officium of the Court of Session, and hopes to demystify the concept for litigators. Our expert speaker, Jamie McGowan, Solicitor Advocate at Axiom Advocates will consider the circumstances where petitioning the nobile officium may be helpful to your client, the procedural ins-and-outs, as well as best practice guidance.
