Defeated 51/63
As an amendment to motion S4M-01133 in the name of Kenny MacAskill (Ensuring the Integrity of Scots Criminal Law), leave out from first “welcomes” to end and insert “regrets the inappropriate language of the First Minister and the Cabinet Secretary for Justice with regard to highly respected judges of the UK Supreme Court and the threat to withdraw funding from the court; notes the conclusions of the review group chaired by Lord McCluskey on the examination of the relationship between the High Court of Justiciary and the Supreme Court in criminal cases; welcomes the group’s reaffirmation of the continuing role of the UK Supreme Court in constitutional and human rights issues affecting Scotland; recognises that the McCluskey report and the work of the expert group set up by Lord Wallace raise some important questions in relation to devolution issues, the requirement for a general public interest certificate to be issued by the High Court of Justiciary prior to appeal to the Supreme Court and widening the scope for appeals to the Supreme Court on European Convention on Human Rights grounds to include potential violations by any public authority, and believes that detailed consideration of all the relevant issues and implications of the range of reforms identified is essential and that this must involve discussion with all interested groups to ensure that any reforms deliver a fair and effective judicial system.”
