Sisting (of an action)

The sisting of an action brings the proceedings to a temporary halt. The debtor can make a personal request or lodge an Incidental Application. This can be used to allow time for the debtor to come to a repayment agreement (e.g. with rent arrears). With sisting the case actually comes off the court agenda and the pursuer would have to ask the court to reawaken the case should the debtor default.
