The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-17390 by Cathy Jamieson on 24 June 2005, whether it is satisfied that the actions of Scottish Court Service officials did not contravene section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998.

The answer

Answered by Cathy Jamieson on 26 Jul 2005 · 28 days after it was lodged, on time

As was explained in S2W-17390,as the content of the website appeared to include material that was potentiallydefamatory, SCS officials felt it appropriate to draw this possibility to the attentionof the service provider. That was the extent of the SCS actings in the matter and,as such, was not in contravention of Section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998.
