Is Bonnington just going to keep churning out articles which get basic facts about the law wrong & suggest he hasn't actually read the legislation he cites? Read s.23 of the Scotland Act. The High Court has no role whatever here. legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/46/…) scottishlegal.com/article/alista…
Under s.23, Holyrood has the power to call witnesses on its own authority. Under s.24, a requirement is imposed when the clerk gives notice to the person or body it is imposed on. Under s.25, failure to comply is an offence. No court (nevermind the High Court) is involved.
Basic, basic stuff - the kind of elementary reading of statute any solid LLB student should manage, nevermind someone who continues to identify themselves as an "honorary former law professor."
It's a pattern. @EamonPHKeane1 was correcting him again just last week. As Eamon said, there's "an obligation upon any lawyer to write carefully and accurately about legal matters that find themselves at the forefront of public and political debate." scottishlegal.com/article/eamon-…
