What counts as ‘using’ a mobile phone then?

It’s pretty hard for others to prove that you’re using it if you’re looking at text message…sure, you’re not taking a call, or texting yourself, but you’re certainly not giving your full attention to the road…

P.S. BBC, it was on the 7th May LAST year he was caught, not this year…unless he’s invented time travel and kept the secret to himself.

No decision on Shetlands Scottishness, or lack of…

The issue regarding whether Shetland is part of Scotland won’t now be heard, as the case was settled before going to court, and reported on the 20th April ( Scots Law News, 784).

Hector MacQueen in SLN points out the reasoning why it wouldn’t have been possible to win it in the first place!

So, we keep the Shetlanders, whether they like it or not… 🙂

Scottish Law Society on the move

The home of the Law Society of Scotland for the last 39 years, Drumsheugh Gardens, is on the market, and hoping to attract offers of over £5.5 million.

What are the odds it’ll be snapped up and turned into yet another hotel? And for an added bit of trendiness, they can have it themed like a fantasy lawyers office / library, with law books lining the walls, quiet little alcoves for meetings and discussions, neat piles of important paperwork filed away in lovely units, or locked securely into impenetrable safes…in other words, nothing like reality at all!!!
