Here, Prior to 1600, the New Year Began on 25 March) Chronological list of statutes, 1424-1707 The following tables contain a chronological list of the statutes of the Scottish parliament from 1424 to the union of 1707. In order to facilitate the transition to RPS, the traditional legal citation of each statute used in courts of law and by practising lawyers (according to the two editions already in use) is provided, along with the standard short title and the reference number to the equivalent text in the online edition. Dating conventions Statutes have traditionally been cited according to old style dates (where, prior to 1600, the new year began on 25 March). Thus the acts passed in the session that began on 19 January 1450 (as per modern usage) are dated 1449. In the tables that follow, where applicable, the old style date is cited first, followed by the new style date in brackets. It should be noted that reference numbers in RPS are based on new style dates. The dating used for each session is based on the day on which the parliament first began. Editions of statutes cited A large variety of collections of Scots statutes, both official and unofficial, have been published, beginning with the first collection of Black Acts (so named for its heavy letter type) printed under exclusive royal licence in 1541. Traditional legal citations of acts, however, conventionally refer to one of two authoritative editions. The first, commonly cited as the ‘duodecimo edition’, is that produced by Sir Thomas Murray of Glendook (modern-day Glendoick, Perthshire), lord clerk register from 1677 to 1681. His Laws and Acts of Parliament made by King James the First and his royal successors, kings and queens of Scotland was published in two duodecimo volumes in 1682 and contain the statutes from 1424 to 1681. To complete the collection up to the date of union, a third duodecimo volume of official sessional publications from 1685 to 1707 is usually found in company with Glendook’s edition (see, for example, the collected Scots Acts held in the National Library of Scotland, shelf-mark BCL.B5170). The second version of statutes, usually cited as the ‘record edition’, is that monumental achievement of Thomas Thomson and Cosmo Innes, The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, printed in twelve folio volumes from 1814-75. Published at command of the sovereign, this edition sought to print all surviving records of the pre-1707 Scottish parliament, private as well as public. As both editions described above are still commonly in use, the following list gives citations for them both, along with the corresponding RPS reference. The fact that Glendook’s edition is still so commonly cited is a surprise given its many deficiencies. As Cosmo Innes noted in his introduction to the first volume of APS, Glendook’s version seems to have implicitly copied from Sir John Skene’s collection of acts from 1424 to 1597 - The lawes and actes of Parliament, maid be King James the First and his successours kings of Scotland, visied and extracted furth of the register (Edinburgh, 1597) - and then from subsequent sessional publications, despite claiming to be based on a study of the original records. Skene’s edition was itself copied from earlier printed editions of the Black Acts and the original manuscripts seem to have been rarely consulted. www.rps.ac.uk © University of St Andrews 2 Chronological list of statutes, 1424-1707 Moreover, of the two Glendook editions published, it is the 1681 folio rather than the 1682 duodecimo edition that is the least afflicted with the typographical errors carried over from Skene’s edition, yet this edition is not preferred. Glendook’s edition is also incomplete, frequently excluding public acts and occasionally entire sessions of parliament, yet including matters such as acts of sederunt as if they were statutes. Such omissions are largely addressed by the record edition, but APS too has its shortcomings. Separate but related acts are often merged into one, despite the original manuscript showing no basis for this (see, for example, APS ii 12, c.23 and RPS, 1427/3/7-16). The numbering of statutes is erratic from volume to volume, occasionally including forfeitures and other private business, in other instances leaving such acts out altogether. Original manuscript numbering is ignored completely. A particularly Victorian obsession with order and tidiness is evident in Thomson’s editorial practices, especially relating to the period between 1424 and 1460 where eleven manuscripts and one printed edition survive, none more authoritative or reliable than the next. Thomson’s reliance on a 1566 printed source for the acts of this period, improving on this by picking and choosing corrections from earlier manuscripts, means that the version printed by APS is of a text never in existence. At his worst, in an attempt to fill holes in fragmentary manuscripts or make awkward text fit, it has been shown that Thomson was not averse to inventing entire phrases and sentences if he considered this improved on a deficient source (see detailed discussion on this issue at www.rps.ac.uk/static/notesonsources.html). Statute titles Standard succinct and descriptive titles for pre-1707 acts are given in the Chronological Table of the Statutes (2 vols, TSO, published annually) and it is these cited here. It should be noted that some short titles are misleading and should be used with care. Note, for example, the 1555 statute entitled ‘Chickens’ (RPS, A1555/6/33). The original manuscript makes no mention of domestic fowl, referring instead to wild game birds. Pre-1707 statutes still in force As of October 2017 there are 83 Acts of Parliaments of Scotland (the pre-1707 Scottish parliament) still in force, either wholly, partly or as revised and amended by subsequent legislation. This total includes six Acts which are affected by repeals yet to take commencement. Statutes still in force at the time of writing are highlighted in blue within the chronological lists. An appendix separately listing these acts can be found on p.162. www.rps.ac.uk © University of St Andrews 3 James I (1406-1437) 1424, May 26 Record edition 12mo edition Short title or subject matter RPS reference APS ii 3, c.1 c.1 Church 1424/2 APS ii 3, c.2 c.2 Public peace 1424/2a APS ii 3, c.3 c.3 Treason 1424/3 APS ii 3, c.4 c.4 Treason 1424/4 APS ii 3, c.5 c.5 Riders and gangers 1424/5 APS ii 3, c.6 c.6 Officers of law 1424/6 APS ii 3, c.7 c.7 Sorners 1424/7 APS ii 4, c.8 c.8 Customs and burgh mails 1424/8 APS ii 4, c.9 c.9 Crown revenues 1424/9 APS ii 4, c.10 - Supply 1424/24-31 APS ii 5, c.11 c.10 Salmon 1424/10 APS ii 5, c.12 c.11 Salmon 1424/11 APS ii 5, c.13 c.12 Royal Mines 1424/15 APS ii 5, c.14 c.13 Clergy 1424/16 APS ii 5, c.15 c.14 Clergy 1424/17 APS ii 5, c.16 c.15 Export duty 1424/18 APS ii 5, c.17 c.16 Export duty 1424/18 APS ii 5, c.18 c.17 Football 1424/19 APS ii 6, c.19 c.18 Archers 1424/20 APS ii 6, c.20 c.19 Rooks 1424/21 www.rps.ac.uk © University of St Andrews 4 James I (1406-1437) 1424, May 26 (cont.)

  • General Register House National Records of Scotland General Register House
    GENERAL REGISTER HOUSE NATIONAL RECORDS OF SCOTLAND GENERAL REGISTER HOUSE ‘A PROPER REPOSITORY’ General Register House was begun in 1774 to the designs of Robert Adam (1728-1792), a Scot who was one of Britain’s greatest architects. It is not only one of his finest public buildings, but also the first purpose-built public record repository in the British Isles. In fact it may be the oldest archive building in the world that is still being used for its original function. A proper home for Scotland’s public records was first proposed in 1722, after the Treaty of Union of 1707 guaranteed that the national records would remain in Scotland. However, for much of the eighteenth century Scotland’s national archives were housed in unsuitable accommodation in Parliament House and other nearby buildings. Eventually, in 1765 a government grant of £12,000 was made available from the forfeited Jacobite estates for the building of ‘a proper repository’. The Register House Trustees only reached agreement on a site when the City gifted the necessary land at the north end of the new North Bridge in 1769. NATIONAL RECORDS OF SCOTLAND ADAM’S DESIGN Largely through the influence of Lord Frederick Campbell, the Lord Clerk Register, Robert Adam and his younger brother James, were appointed architects of Register House in 1772. The Adam brothers believed that you could judge a society by the quality and grandeur of its public buildings, and this commission provided an opportunity to put their beliefs into practice. While the building’s design went through several stages, the main elements of the principal façade and the centralised plan, consisting of a domed rotunda within a quadrangle, were present from the beginning.

    SHERIFF APPEAL COURT [2018] SAC (Civ) 7 ALO-A4-16 Sheriff Principal Abercrombie QC Appeal Sheriff Stewart QC Appeal Sheriff Holligan OPINION OF THE COURT delivered by APPEAL SHERIFF HOLLIGAN in the cause DEVON ANGLING ASSOCIATION, JOHN B ANDERSON, A L ARMSTRONG, D K MUDIE, respectively The President, Treasurer and Secretary thereof, as representing the association as individuals Pursuers and Appellants against SCOTTISH WATER Defender and Respondent Pursuer/Appellant: Upton, advocate; Fish Legal Defender/Respondent: Balfour, advocate; Berrymans Lace Mawer LLP 27 March 2018 [1] This appeal concerns a claim for reparation. The pursuers and appellants are an angling association. They are an unincorporated body whose objects are to sustain and protect fishing in the River Devon and its tributaries along a particular stretch of the water. The defenders and respondents are Scottish Water, a body incorporated in terms of the 2 Water Industry (Scotland) Act 2002. We will refer to the parties as “the Association” and “Scottish Water” respectively. [2] The circumstances giving rise to the present claim are set out in the closed record. For the purposes of this opinion the material facts are not greatly in dispute. It is a matter of agreement that the Association bears to be the tenant of three leases executed in 1982, 1988 and 2013 respectively (although we recognise there is a dispute as to whether the Association are lessees and the documents leases, for convenience we shall refer to them as “the leases”). There is little material difference in the terms and conditions of each of the leases. They are short documents.

THE SCOTTISH BAR: THE EVOLUTION OF THE FACULTY OF ADVOCATES IN ITS HISTORICAL SOCIAL SETTING Nan Wilson* Although the expression "advocate" is used in early Scottish statutes such as the Act of 1424, c. 45, which provided for legal aid to the indigent, the Faculty of Advocates as such dates from 1532 when the Court of Session was constituted as a College of Justice. Before this time, though friends of litigants could appear as unpaid amateurs, there had, of course, been professional lawyers, lay and ecclesiastical, variously described as "fore- speakers," procurators and prolocutors. The functions of advo- cate and solicitor had not yet been differentiated, though the notary had been for historical reasons. The law teacher was then essentially an ecclesiastic. As early as 1455, a distinctive costume (a green tabard) for pleaders was prescribed by Act of Parliament.' Between 1496 and 1501, at least a dozen pleaders can be identified as in extensive practice before the highest courts, and procurators appeared regularly in the Sheriff Courts.2 The position of notary also flourished in Scotland as on the Continent, though from 1469 the King asserted the exclusive right to appoint candidates for that branch of legal practice.

  • Judicial Review Scope and Grounds
    JUDICIAL REVIEW SCOPE AND GROUNDS By Scott Blair, Advocate THE TRIGONOMETRY OF JUDICIAL REVIEW In Scotland, unlike England and Wales, the judicial review jurisdiction is not limited to cases which have an element of public law. As explained by Lord President Hope in West v. Secretary of State for Scotland 1992 SC 385 at 413 the scope of judicial review is as follows: “ The following propositions are intended therefore to define the principles by reference to which the competency of all applications to the supervisory jurisdiction under Rule of Court 260B is to be determined: 1. The Court of Session has power, in the exercise of its supervisory jurisdiction, to regulate the process by which decisions are taken by any person or body to whom a jurisdiction, power or authority has been delegated or entrusted by statute, agreement or any other instrument. 2. The sole purpose for which the supervisory jurisdiction may be exercised is to ensure that the person or body does not exceed or abuse that jurisdiction, power or authority or fail to do what the jurisdiction, power or authority requires. 3. The competency of the application does not depend upon any distinction between public law and private law, nor is it confined to those cases which English law has accepted as amenable to judicial review, nor is it correct in regard to issues about competency to describe judicial review under Rule of Court 260B as a public law remedy. By way of explanation we would emphasise these important points: (a) Judicial review is available, not to provide machinery for an appeal, but to ensure that the decision-maker does not exceed or abuse his powers or fail to perform the duty which has been delegated or entrusted to him.

    THE PROCEEDINGS CASE OF THE EARLDOM OE MAR: 1867—1885. A RESUME BY E. B. SWINTON. " My thanes and kinsmen, Henceforth be Earls ; the first that ever Scotland In such an honor named." ,, LONDON: HARBISON AND SONS, 59, PALL MALL, BOOKSELLERS TO HEE MAJESTY AND H.E.H. TIIE PEINCE OF WALES. 1889. Price One Shilling. THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE CASE OF THE EARLDOM OF MAR. On the 17th July of this year* the Earl of G-alloway in the House of Lords moved a resolution regarding the Mar peerage. He desired, in effect, to have it resolved that the present Earl of Mar and Baron Garioch was the only Earl of Mar, and that an order of the House of Lords of February 26th, 1875, which declared the Earl of Kellie to be also an Earl of Mar, should be cancelled : —" What they were asked to do," according to one of the speakers, the Earl of Rosebery, was " to declare that there were not two Earls of Mar ; whereas three years ago they had solemnly declared that there were ; " and, according to the report of the debate in the " Times," the motion was lost by a majority of 27 in a House of 51. This is the last public resuscitation of a long-stand- ing and involved dispute ; and it is proposed to give some account of the most interesting inquiry of the kind which has taken place in this century—interesting for its in- trinsic historical merits and research, and for the perplexed proceedings following upon it—not for any details of questions of disputed legitimacy which often accompany such investigations.
