Scottish law

Hi ,

Hope all are doing well. Scottish law differs from English law in a number of ways. The procurator fiscal presents the case for the prosecution in sheriff courts and in district courts and in district courts. Advocates, instead of barristers, appear in Scottish courts. In Scottish law, if a person is charged with a criminal offense, they must be brought to trail within 110 days. If that does not happen, they are set free. In English courts juries can only find defendants guilty or not guilty, built in Scotland they may find a case “not proven”. Thank you.
