Appointment of a Lay Member to the Board of the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission
The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC) is a non-departmental public body funded by the Scottish Government and is accountable to the Scottish Parliament for those public funds. The Commission was established by Section 19A of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (as amended). The Commission’s review of cases is completely independent of Parliament, the Scottish Government, the Crown and the defence.

The Commission has power to refer cases to the High Court for determination, subject to any directions the High Court may make.
