Supreme Court: Financial appeal

At a a meeting of the Members of Sustainable Shetland on Wednesday 6 August at Bixter Hall, it was resolved that an appeal be lodged with the Supreme Court in London following the recent decision of the Inner House of the Court of Session. The decision of the Inner House delivered by Lord Brodie on 9th July overturned the ruling of Lady Clark of Carlton in the Outer House of the Court of Session in September 2013. Lady Clark had found in favour of Sustainable Shetland in its petition for judicial review of the decision of Scottish Ministers to grant consent to the proposed Viking wind farm on Shetland.

We need your support to raise the necessary funds. Please consider making a donation to Sustainable Shetland.

Our 800+ members have contributed and raised funds to help cover our legal costs for our initial judicial review, which we won. Unfortunately the Scottish Government appealed this decision. On that occasion they won their appeal, leaving us little option but to take our case to the Supreme Court in London. An appeal is a very expensive business, and we really do need your support in helping achieve justice in this case.
