Dear Backers and Followers. Game On!

Tonight I update you on the fact that we're now going to court.
We have now received the interlocutor confirming that the closed record has been received by the court and a By Order (Adjustment) Roll hearing has been fixed for Wednesday 30 September.
In English: The interlocutor is the order of the court which states that they accept the "closed record". The closed record is basically a combined folder of all the pleadings (submissions) for ourselves and for the other parties to the case, all organised into an ...
easy to understand, well laid out and easily accessible pack for the assistance of the court. In a nutshell, it is a single hymn sheet that all parties can reference during court proceedings.
The "By Order (Adjustment) Roll hearing is the first hearing in court which determines the procedure for the rest of the verbal hearings.
It is standard and pro-forma and the court will decide details like how many hearings there will be, how long will be put aside etc. This will be slated for the 30th of September.

But that's it. We're off to the races folks!
Sincerely,

Martin Keatings

MARTIN JAMES KEATINGS v (FIRST) THE ADVOCATE GENERAL FOR SCOTLAND; (SECOND) THE LORD ADVOCATE; and (THIRD) THE SCOTTISH MINISTERS (Commonly referred to as "The Peoples Action on Section 30" case.)
The case is seeking a declarator of the Court, that the Scottish Parliament has the power to legislate for the holding of a referendum on whether Scotland should be an independent country, without requiring the consent of the UK government.

Peoples Action on Section 30

By way of an update on the case. The 8 weeks "adjustment period" where parties refine their submissions to the court, closed at 5pm. Submissions from the Lord Advocate (on behalf of Scottish Government) and the Advocate General (UK Government) arrived at 4.30pm.
These submissions are still confidential and so cannot be disclosed at this point. Certain procedural matters will now take over and I should be able to layout a timeline shortly. In the meantime, I will, of course, update you on any news as it becomes available.
All the best,

Martin

We've just had word that the Scottish Government have enrolled a standard motion to establish whether the case should proceed under Judicial Review or Ordinary Cause. (Different types of procedures) and also to establish whether the case has permission to proceed.
Both of these are normal because under the Court of Session Act 1988 a judicial review requires consent from the Lord Ordinary (judge in the court of session) to proceed.
While this is all pretty standard stuff. I'm not quite sure what the specifics are yet, but they will come in good time.
