Scottish Court broadens scope of costs protection in environmental proceedings
22 March 2021
On 10 February 2021, the Outer House of the Court of Session in Edinburgh granted a protective expenses order to Scottish environmental charity Trees for Life ("TfL"), in judicial review proceedings against the Scottish Government and NatureScot. This marks a positive development for charitable organisations seeking to protect the environment, and demonstrates that crowdfunding can be compatible with robust costs protection in judicial review challenges.
