The question

To ask the Scottish Executive whether communities of interest and non-governmental organisations will have greater access to justice as required by the broad access to justice requirements of the Aarhus Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters when it replaces the current tests of title and interest with a single and simpler test of sufficient interest, as stated in its response to the Report of the Scottish Civil Courts Review.
