Humza, with respect I'm deeply, deeply uncomfortable with this proposal, as somebody with significant experience in the area, it is counter to some of the absolute cornerstones of our legal system. I'm presuming there were other contingencies discussed too? Can you elaborate?

I understand discomfort. In normal times I wouldn't even contemplate such a move. Contingencies have been explored but at this stage cannot see an alternative if we want Solemn trials to proceed. Open to suggestions & will approach constructively with opposition

you just postpone the trials. That's it. If the defendent does not need remand, then they just wait for their trial. That's it.

It's not that simple. Say all April's trials are delayed to Sept, then Sept's trials are delayed to Feb & so on. There are only so many courts & judicial staff available.

true but very doable without any power grabs. SNP like power grabs.

And this won't be raised as an SNP fail if trials are backed up for a couple of years as a result?
Not saying this decision is the best but seriously instead of bitching maybe come up with a proper solution & not one that will be used as a political baseball bat later on.3 antwoorden 0 retweets 1 vind-ik-leuk
Couple of week, months, years. Each is a separate scenario. Each can be discussed before being proposed in law. That's what parliament is for, discussion.
