  • Report for the Justice Committee, April 2018
    Report for the Justice Committee, April 2018 Background Strathclyde Mediation Clinic was founded in 2012 with the twin goals of enhancing students’ skills and providing a useful service to society. The university has always seen itself as the ‘place of useful learning’ so, when students on the Masters in Mediation and Conflict Resolution sought opportunities to develop their skills, a free service for local people was a perfect fit. The Clinic enables these postgraduates (with backgrounds in law, management, HR and other professions) to work alongside experienced ‘Lead’ mediators. Glasgow Sheriff Court invited the Clinic to offer small claims mediation from February 2014. Considerable work went into developing paperwork and systems.1 In the first year of the project the Clinic conducted 39 mediations; 31 resulted in settlement (79%) and in 94% of these the terms were fulfilled. Nearly all cases involved unrepresented parties on one or both sides. The Clinic continued to provide small claims mediation during 2015 and 2016, mediating 32 and 22 cases respectively, with settlement rates averaging 70% and compliance running at over 95%. Simple Procedure The publication of the new Simple Procedure rules in summer 2016 led to discussions with Sheriffs Principal in Glasgow and Strathkelvin and in North Strathclyde. They asked the Clinic to provide mediation to enable their courts to fulfil the numerous references in the rules to alternative dispute resolution (ADR). No information was provided by Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service (SCTS) or Scottish Government about how ADR might be made available. The rules allow sheriffs considerable discretion. Different courts planned to take different approaches, as set out below: • Glasgow: referral to mediation at First Written Orders (meaning parties do not attend court prior to the referral).

  • The Justice of the Peace Court (Sheriffdom Of
    Document Generated: 2020-09-21 Status: This is the original version (as it was originally made). This item of legislation is currently only available in its original format. EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order) This Order makes various provision in relation to the establishment of a justice of the peace court (“JP court”) in the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. JP Courts are being established on a Sheriffdom by Sheriffdom basis and have already been established in Lothian and Borders and Grampian, Highland and Islands. Article 2 to the Order specifies that a JP court is to be established in the Sheriff Court District of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. That JP court is to take place in Glasgow. Article 3 disestablishes the district court (established under the District Courts (Scotland) Act 1975) in the Commission Area of Glasgow City Council. The jurisdiction of the District Courts of East Dunbartonshire and South Lanarkshire also extend into the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. This is because the boundaries of those commission areas overlap the boundary of the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. There are regular sittings of those district courts at Kirkintilloch and Rutherglen respectively which both fall within the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. The District Courts of East Dunbartonshire and South Lanarkshire are not disestablished by this Order because to do so would mean that there would be inadequate provision of lower tier summary criminal courts in the Sheriffdom of South Strathclyde, Dumfries and Galloway (which is currently served by the South Lanarkshire District Court in sittings at Hamilton, East Kilbride and Lanark and the district courts for other local authority areas within that Sheriffdom) and in the Sheriffdom of North Strathclyde (which is currently served by the East Dunbartonshire District Court in sitting at Milngavie and the district courts for other local authority areas within that Sheriffdom).

  • Chapter 14 Midland Valley of Scotland 15/03/2012
    Chapter 14 Midland Valley of Scotland 15/03/2012 Chapter 14 Midland Valley of Scotland C. N. WATERS, M. A. E. BROWNE, N. S. JONES & I.D. SOMERVILLE Carboniferous rocks occupy much of the Midland Valley of Scotland, but are commonly obscured at surface by Quaternary deposits. The succession occupies an ENE-trending graben bounded by the complexes of the Highland Boundary Fault to the northwest and the Southern Upland Fault to the southeast. Onshore, the graben is about 90 km wide and extends some 150 km from the Ayrshire coast and Glasgow in the west to the east Fife and East Lothian coasts in the east (Fig. 14.1). The basins within the graben are associated with Carboniferous rocks more than 6 km thick. The Highland Boundary and Southern Upland faults were active and helped control sedimentation, initially during the Tournaisian as sinistral strike/oblique slip faults and subsequently in the Visean to Westphalian a regime of dextral strike/oblique-slip deformation (Browne & Monro 1989; Ritchie et al. 2003; Underhill et al. 2008). Isolated exposures also occur on the Island of Arran and at Machrihanish in Kintyre. The Midland Valley of Scotland was separated from basins to the south (Tweed and Solway Firth basins and the Northumberland Trough- see Chapter 13) by the Lower Palaeozoic rocks of the Southern Uplands block, which formed a positive, mainly emergent area throughout the Carboniferous. However, this was breached during the Carboniferous by narrow NW–SE trending basins, for example Stranraer and Sanquhar to Thornhill. The Scottish Highlands to the north, of Lower Palaeozoic and Precambrian rocks, were similarly a positive, mainly emergent area with outcrops of Carboniferous (Johnstone 1966) limited to the west coast around Inninmore (Sound of Mull), Bridge of Awe (Pass of Brander) and Glas Eilean (Sound of Islay).
