  • Salvesen V Riddell and Another, Lord Advocate Intervening (Scotland)
    Easter Term [2013] UKSC 22 On appeal from: [2012] CSIH 26 JUDGMENT Salvesen v Riddell and another, Lord Advocate intervening (Scotland) before Lord Hope, Deputy President Lord Kerr Lord Wilson Lord Reed Lord Toulson JUDGMENT GIVEN ON 24 April 2013 Heard on 12 and 13 March 2013 Appellant Advocates to the Court James Mure QC W James Wolffe QC Kenny McBrearty Alasdair Burnet (Instructed by Scottish (Instructed by the Government Legal Solicitor to the Faculty of Directorate Litigation Advocates) Division) LORD HOPE (with whom Lord Kerr, Lord Wilson, Lord Reed and Lord Toulson agree) 1. This is an appeal from an interlocutor of the Second Division of the Court of Session (Lord Justice Clerk Gill, Lord Osborne and Lord Nimmo Smith) of 15 March 2012 allowing an appeal under section 88(1) of the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 2003 from a decision of the Scottish Land Court: [2012] CSIH 26, 2012 SLT 633. Section 88(3) of the 2003 Act provides that the decision of the Court of Session in any appeal made to it under section 88(1) is final. But, as the Lord Justice Clerk explained in para 1 of his opinion, the issues in the appeal to that court included the question whether section 72 of the 2003 Act was compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights. 2. Section 29(1) of the Scotland Act 1998 provides that an Act of the Scottish Parliament is not law in so far as any provision of the Act is outside the legislative competence of the Parliament. Section 29(2)(d) provides that a provision is outside competence if it is incompatible with any of the Convention rights.

The committee incorporates the Adult Protection Committee, Child Protection Committee, Offender Management Group and Violence Against Women Partnership, and I am pleased to present the Committee’s third annual report. This report presents the achievements made during 2016-17 and sets out our priorities for 2017-18. Public Protection includes the most high profile ‘critical’ services for which the key agencies of council, NHS Lothian and police have statutory responsibility. In East Lothian and Midlothian, the drive for collaborative working within Public Protection was a practical one; people do not neatly fit into one category and issues like domestic abuse and substance misuse are common themes with many of the service users with whom we work. Recognising these significant overlaps, we promote an integrated “lifespan” approach to Public Protection covering all ages and stages of life.
