The SHRC also has the power to intervene in legal proceedings. Interventions are a way of raising particular points of law or fact which do not feature in the arguments advanced by the parties to the proceedings, but which would assist the court in its determination of the law. The SHRC has a specific intervention power under the UNCRC Act, as well as a wider intervention power in respect of other humanrights.
If you want to notify us about legal proceedings which raise a compatibility question or compatibility issue under the UNCRC Act or notify us of an issue where the SHRC may wish to consider using its other legal powers please email legal@scottishhumanrights.com.
Please note that that the law governing the SHRC’s work prohibits us from providing advice or assistance on individual legal claims unless of the SHRC’s powers under the UNCRC Act. Section 6 of the Scottish Commission for HumanRights
