  1. "A Sports Medicine Expert couldn't become a GP, could they?"

     

    After a short re-training course, yes. A medical practitioner is a medical practitioner. This one just happens to specialise in sports but in the caverns of her memory she'll know the cure for measles.

  2. "You are correct that an appeal has to be on a point of law or based on new evidence (unlikely in this situation), you cannot simply reargue the original case and hope for a different outcome." - BH.

     

    I don't know about tax cases but in civil cases you can argue the same point of law from the Sheriff, to the Sheriff Principal to the Court of Session to the SC. By the time you get there at least four, maybe as many as nine judges will have found against you but you can win 3 - 2 in the SC. An extreme example but possible, all on a single point of law.

  3. "This week Lord Carloway, Scotland’s lord justice clerk, attacked the UK supreme court as a “relatively remote, far removed” institution with a “depressing influence” on the Scottish legal system."

     

    Some Jocko Judges have been saying that for decades forgetting that the SC Bench like the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords before it has a quota of time-served Jocko Judges on it.

  4. Leggat, Yorston, Buckley, Wishart and Hather a title winning forward line for Aberdeen. A very good blend with Leggat the best of them. His bad luck that Alec Scott was winning most of the international caps at the time.
