As a result of the Coronavirus (or ‘COVID-19’) outbreak, the Scottish Government and Westmister have passed emergency legislation in order to help tackle the national health crisis. This legislation, the Coronavirus Act 2020 and the Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020 both heavily impact the way in which Criminal Justice is administered in both Scotland and the United Kingdom as a whole. We have posted numerous articles aiming to provide further information on the effects that this legislation will have specifically in the context of the Criminal Justice system, whether or not you are involved in ongoing criminal proceedings, either as an accused person or a witness, or simply desire clarification.
