Signed complaint for party litigant

Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service did not have the information requested.

Dear Scottish Court Service,

1) Should a party litigant be presented with a complaint signed by the procurator fiscal to commence criminal proceedings?

2) How long before the commencement of proceedings should a party litigant have the complaint?

Yours faithfully,

Stuart Hill
