§ 107. Mr. Willisasked the Attorney-General if he is aware that the first two Scottish cases to come before the arbitration tribunals were listed for Carlisle; and whether he will make arrangements for all Scottish cases to be heard in Scotland.
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe two Scottish cases referred to were listed for hearing in Carlisle in order to avoid delay to the appellants. At that time there were only two cases awaiting hearing in Scotland and a session by a tribunal in Scotland was not considered justifiable. Since the appellants might have had to wait some time for a sufficient accumulation of cases in Scotland to justify a sitting there, those responsible for listing the case assumed, rightly or wrongly, that the appellants would prefer to have their cases disposed of at once at a centre just this side of the Border.
