    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    Document Generated: 2020-09-21 Status: This is the original version (as it was originally made).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).

Beth Diamond, Mary Darke, Doreen Kingsbury, Helen Donnachie, Moira Allan, Fiona Taylor, Karine Davison, Imogen Johnstone, Peter Allan, Peter Bartos, Helena Bartos 1. Apologies: Hazel Miller, Liz Weir 2. Minute of the meeting of 28 April 2014 These were agreed with the following corrections: 5.2 amend to ‘Map Leaflets and Plinth. It was agreed that this should be paid in full from the no.3 account’. Attached reports - Change heading of report labelled ‘Publicity’ to ‘Webmaster’ 3. Matters Arising: 3.1 Reports. It was agreed that the new system of the Secretary circulating reports one week prior to the meeting appeared successful. Any item which came up after submission of a report could be brought up at the meeting. 3.2 Hi-Vis Jackets. These were now available 3.3 Proposal for Bus Walks. Fiona said that it was too onerous for the Walks Co- ordinator to organise all the bus walks as well as the normal walking programme. Plans for bus walks had been made by the full committee in the past, not the walks committee. It was suggested that the Bus Convenor should also organise the walks on bus walks. These trips would also need to be organised earlier if additional notice in the programme was required. These suggestions were noted for future discussion. 4. Reports 4.1 Publicity (Report attached). Milngavie Walks Panels. Peter A asked that if anyone from the committee was notified of/invited to the official unveiling of the Milngavie Walks plinth and board they let him know.
