Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it has evaluated the outcomes of the specialist domestic abuse courts in Glasgow and Edinburgh, and, if not, whether it has any plans to do so.
Answer
Responsibility for evaluation lies with The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service, and there is no requirement for the involvement or approval of the Scottish Ministers or the Scottish Parliament.
This is in line with the principles outlined in the Judiciary and Courts (Scotland) Act 2008.
