We are ensuring, as any responsible Government must, that our policies comply with all our legal obligations, including, of course, the Scotland Act 1998 and the European convention on human rights.It is the Scottish Government’s long-held position that it does not regard it as appropriate to engage in public comment in respect of live court proceedings. That is different from saying that the position is that the Scottish Government cannot comment or is prevented from commenting generally on live litigation, although there will be cases in which the Contempt of Court Act 1981 is engaged to that effect, to ensure that there is no risk of impediment or prejudice to the proceedings.In all cases, we have an obligation to uphold the independence of the judiciary, and we do not want the Government to ever be seen as interfering in the work of our independent courts.
