Gordon Jackson KC is facing a suspension from practicing after he named the former First Minister's accusers on a train, breaching rules on anonymity.
Alex Salmond’s trial lawyer has been hit with a five-month suspension after he named the former First Minister’s accusers on a train. But Gordon Jackson KC has been given permission to appeal after the sanction by a Faculty of Advocates committee.
Jackson, a former Labour MSP, quit as dean of the faculty and an investigation was launched. The faculty’s complaints committee concluded his behaviour had been “reprehensible”, adding: “We are satisfied this constitutes professional misconduct.” Rape Crisis Scotland, which represents the complainers in the Jackson case, has previously been critical of the delays in resolving the matter. The faculty aims to deal with cases in nine months but about two years have elapsed since the complaint was made.
