The Scottish Law Commission’s Annual Report 2024 has been published and gives an insight into the future of legal reform including homicide and mortgages, writes Joshua King https://t.co/fYGIriGwE4

The admirably concise recommendations are underpinned by an equally impressive resume of the current law and analysis of its shortcomings. This is important: if we're going to do away with long-standing legislation we need to be sure we know what it is we're burying

@rblackqc @MacqueenHector @scotlawcom Fascinating! It was indeed 1976, 7 June, I think, so the anniversary falls during the week of the move to PH. One wonders what the appropriate number of windows was?!

[Charles Garland @edin_charles]

@MacqueenHector @scotlawcom It was good to see you, Hector!

[Charles Garland @edin_charles]

@DrGillianBlack Congratulations on your Today interview 👏 👏 #surrogacy

@MacqueenHector Bad news, Hector, and sorry to hear that but I hope it's mild (and that you manage to keep the R number at 0...)

[Charles Garland @edin_charles]

@MacqueenHector That's great news, Hector, and many congratulations to you all! It's a lovely name, and Cammy looks a natural.

[Charles Garland @edin_charles]

@LornaJaneMacF @EdinLawSeminars @AvizandumLaw Many congratulations, Lorna! This is wonderful news. I look forward to seeing your book prominently in @scotlawcom 's library and am very touched by your mention of the contract team led by @MacqueenHector and of which you were an important member!

[Charles Garland @edin_charles]

@SirJJQC Makes me wonder what the cost is? #remembrance

[Charles Garland @edin_charles]
