Jo Maugham, the group’s director, said the move could help hold Downing Street to account amid efforts by Rishi Sunak to crack down on the 'politicisation' of UK courts by 'lefty lawyers'

"We would like to play our part in delivering that in Scotland as we play our part in delivering it in England. Maugham said the other aspect to it was that because the Westminster Government resides throughout the UK, it can be sued in any part of the Union. "And that's not because this Government is a real believer in acting within the law. It's because courts in England and Wales are feeling under great pressure.”
