MacAskill in new attack on Supreme Court rulings

JUSTICE Secretary Kenny MacAskill said UK Supreme Court judges should not interfere in Scots Law, when their knowledge of it was "limited to a visit to the Edinburgh Festival".

His inflammatory attack was made in advance of a meeting of the Scottish Government’s Cabinet today to discuss options that a spokesman said were for remedying a situation where Scottish criminal cases face being sent to the UK Supreme Court on human rights grounds.
