Levy & McRae, the legal firm which represented Elish Angiolini, the Lord Advocate - Scotland’s most senior law officer - last month took The Drum to the Press Complaints Commission and lost.
The online article at the root of the dispute, which we publish on the following pages in full in addition to the PCC adjudication, was a report on a failed Freedom of Information request. Last year the Lord Advocate threatened to sue our sister magazine The Firm for reporting complaints from the family of Hollie Greig, a young Down’s Syndrome child and victim of an alleged paedophile ring.
They claimed they were let down by the Procurator Fiscal Service which, in their view, did not handle the prosecution process properly.
