Action for payment, the trustees of the Scottish Solicitors Staff Pension Fund seek to recover andpound;50,224 from the firm of Pattison and Sim and its two partners. The trustees maintain that the original trust documents have been amended several times, and that rules adopted in 1990 now govern the Fund. The defenders deny liability. They question whether the formal amendment procedure set out in the original trust documents was followed. They contend that the trustees do not offer to prove that the various amending deeds are valid. Accordingly, the action is so fundamentally lacking in specification that it is irrelevant and should be dismissed.
