Commissary Court definition

What does Commissary Court mean?

The court that grants confirmation (i.e. vests title) in the executors of a deceased person's estate, now the relevant sheriff court.

Most sheriff courts have commissary departments and the sheriff clerk (the commissary clerk in Edinburgh) deals with non-contentious commissary matters.
