Election Court Hearing to be broadcast live

Sep 01, 2015

Proceedings in the Election Court will be broadcast live for the first time after the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service reached an agreement with STV for the hearing to be streamed live on the internet.

STV News has agreed to facilitate the live continuous broadcast of proceedings in a petition brought by a number of constituents challenging the election of Liberal Democrat Alistair Carmichael as MP for Orkney and Shetland. 

The Election Court trial will commence at 10.30am on Monday 7 September in Court 1 at the Court of Session in Edinburgh in front of Lady Paton and Lord Matthews.
