Strategic Lawsuits against Public Participation (PE1975)
The petitioner, Roger Mullin, is with us in the public gallery today. We will seek to take evidence from him, the anti-SLAPP research hub, the Law Society of Scotland and the Minister for Victims and Community Safety at future meetings. Are there any other organisations that we would like to include? Fergus Ewing has suggested that we speak to Mr Graeme Johnston, too. Are we content to proceed on that basis? Members indicated agreement.
