SLCC loses Court of Session appeal

The Scottish Legal Complaints Commission has today (Tuesday 21 September) received a ruling from the Court of Session following an appeal lodged by the Law Society of Scotland which challenged the SLCC's decision to refer a third-party complaint to the Law Society for investigation.

SLCC Interim Chief Executive Rosemary Agnew commented: "Although the Lords found for the Law Society of Scotland by majority, and so the Commission lost the appeal, we recognise the opinions expressed in the decision are of vital importance to our future operations and are giving the matter measured consideration.
