You all know that the #PeoplesAS30 is about the future of Scotland. What you might not be aware is that due to the pandemic, every single aspect of this case has been conducted digitally from start to finish. The entirety of this case has used technology, which mere weeks before it, was never used by the court and by the time it ends, the case will have likely been the very first constitutional case ran digital from start to finish. In other words a test case for modernisation...

With the case only 2 weeks away, we've been asked by a number of people when we're doing another twitter storm for the case.

So! From tonight at 8pm we'll be doing another social media storm for the case. We are asking everyone to mobilise on social media from 8pm tonight using the hashtag #peoplesAS30 (Peoples Action on Section 30).

We'd appreciate it if you could share the case fundraiser here which has been re-opened: crowdjustice.com/case/pas30/

I am pleased to announce that today, Lady Carmichael has ruled in our favour during a hearing conducted by video conferencing. The decision has been made not to allow the Lord Advocate or Advocate General to place further procedural barriers in the way of this case coming before the court for a full hearing.

Individuals requesting access to the hearing on the 4th at the Court of Session have received a reply with information on how to gain access to view proceedings. It seems that the court has decided to publish the details publicly. Therefore we're sharing what has been advised... ...so that the court is not inundated with emails.

In their response to requests for access they said:

We are now less than 7 days from what is known as the by-order roll hearing. This hearing is to establish the schedule and process moving forward where parties are unable to agree. It is also the point where things should become public in terms of the arguments made. We are hoping this hearing will also be available for public consumption. With COVID 19, the courts are currently conducting many of the hearings by teleconferencing and by video conferencing.

Dear Backers,

Last nights social media event went much better than expected and as a result, at the point of writing this email, we are less than £11,500 from our £155K target. Not to mention the fact that my inbox was inundated with press enquiries. So! With that in mind, we think that if we can get one last push by repeating the same tonight, we can hit our target by Monday morning and have a bit of a Monday morning surprise for the UK Government.

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.

There are quite a few asking about the timetable moving forward on the #PeopleAS30 case, so we can give you a preliminary idea of what happens next in terms of judicial review. However, please be advised that this is subject to change in light of #COVID19 As you all know, on Friday, we formally served the summons on the Advocate General of the UK Government. This was by recorded delivery. There is a 21 day period of "service" and that clock starts today.

Update: We're now less than 96 hours away from the deadline put to the UK Governments legal counsel, the advocate general to respond to the pre-litigation correspondence on the constitutionality of the Scottish Parliament legislating for a referendum. We expect one of four things to happen:
