Parliamentary briefing ahead of Courts Reform Bill Stage 3 debate

Friends of the Earth Scotland and the Environmental Law Centre Scotland Parliamentary breifing ahead of the Stage 3 debate in the Courts Reform (Scotland) Bill debate.  While broadly we welcome this Bill, its impact on Aarhus compliance is limited, and we are concerned that the introduction of a 3 month time limit for judicial review will seriously hinder access to justice in environmental (and other public interest) cases.
