[1.7] Currency and legal tender
All Scottish banks have the right to print their own notes. Three choose
to do so: The Bank of Scotland (founded 1695), The Royal Bank of Scotland
(founded 1727) and the Clydesdale Bank (owned by National Australia Bank).
Only the Royal Bank prints pound notes. All the banks print 5,10,20,50 etc
notes.
Scottish bank notes are not legal tender in Scotland. English bank notes
of denomination less than 5UKP were legal tender in Scotland under
Currency and Bank Notes Act 1954. Now, with the removal of BoE 1UKP
notes, only coins constitute legal tender in Scotland. English bank notes
are only legal tender in England, Wales, The Channel Islands and the Isle
of Man. In Scotland, 1 pound coins are legal tender to any amount, 20ps and
50ps are legal tender up to 10 pounds; 10p and 5ps to 5 pounds and 2p and
1p coins are legal tender to 20p (separately or in combination). 2 pounds
coins and (if you can get hold of one) 5 pound coins are also legal tender
to unlimited amounts, as are gold coins of the realm at face value (in
Scotland at least).
Northern Irish notes are not legal tender anywhere, a situation similar to
Scottish notes. Whether Scottish notes are legal tender or not does not
change alter their inherent value but it dictates their legal function.
Credit cards, cheques and debit cards are not legal tender either but it
doesn't stop them being used as payment. Only a minuscule percentage of
Scottish and British trading is carried out using legal tender. Just because
something is not legal tender certainly doesn't imply it's illegal to use.
The lack of a true legal tender in Scotland does not cause a problem for
Scots Law which is flexible enough to get round this apparent legal
nonsense, as was demonstrated some time ago when one local authority tried
to refuse a cash payment (in Scottish notes) on the grounds it wasn't
"legal tender", but lost their case when the sheriff effectively said
that they were obliged to accept anything which was commonly accepted
as "money", and that should their insistence on "legal tender" have been
supported, it would have resulted in the bill being paid entirely in
coins, which would have been a nonsense; stopping short of saying that
the council would have been "cutting off their nose to spite their
face", but seeming to hint at it.
For tourists: You can spend Scottish notes in England and they are
exactly equivalent to their English counterpart on a one for one
commission free basis. If changing Sterling abroad, do not accept an
inferior rate for changing Scottish notes than is being offered for
English notes as the two are equivalent. You are very unlikely to
encounter problems spending Scottish money in England, I did it for
many years and was never refused.
The definition of legal tender is something which is acceptable as payment
of a debt. If you pay using legal tender, the other person has no recourse
to chase you for payment. As part of the Skye Road Bridge tolls protest,
people have paid in small coins using the greatest number of small
denomination coins which constituted legal tender. Using entirely 1ps
for instance would not have been legal tender and could have been
refused. (This definition is a simplification, see the Currency
section of "Halsbury's Laws of England" for a full legal definition.)
Britain came off the Gold Standard more than 60 years ago. The Scottish
banks are allowed to issue a relatively small amount without backing,
and the remainder of their issue has to be backed by Bank of England
notes to the same value. So the BofE goes bust, the others go with it.

Introduction to Scots Law
=========================
Article by Angus MacCulloch mailto:msrlsam@fs1.ec.man.ac.uk
Scotland has a completely separate legal system from that of England
and Wales. Although it does share some institutions, the legislature
and the House of Lords (sitting as a Court). This stems from
Scotland's independence before 1707 and is enshrined in the Act
of Union.
Scots law stems from two main sources, enacted law and common law.
Enacted law has the authority of a body with legislative powers.
Enacted law can come from many sources, some include Royal
proclamation or order, Acts of Parliament (either the old Scots
Parliament or the UK Parliament), the European Community Treaty or
European legislation, or local authority bye-laws. Common law
derives it authority from the courts and is based on Scots legal
tradition.
Both forms of law have equal authority and often operate in the same
areas. Under the theory of the "supremacy of Parliament,"
as partially recognised in Scotland, enacted law will override
common law, but common law cannot override an enacted law.
Common law develops through the judgements of the courts. To predict
how it will deal with a given situation one must examine the decisions
of the courts in similar cases. Common law initially derived from
the Roman law, as codified under the Emperor Justinian, and
canon law, the law of the church. One of the other sources of law
was the writings of eminent legal scholars such as Lord Stair,
Erskine and Bell, Hume, and Alison.
The Scottish courts separate into two streams, those which deal with
criminal cases, and those that deal with civil cases. The criminal
law regulates the relationship between the individual and the state.
Civil law regulates relationships between individuals.
The criminal courts are, in ascending order of authority:
The District Court, the Sheriff Court, and the High Court of
Justiciary.
The civil courts are, in ascending order of authority:
The Sheriff Court, the Court of Session, and the House of Lords.
The doctrine of "precedent" means that the decision of a higher court
will be binding on a lower court. The High Court of Judiciary and
the House of Lords are not bound by their own decisions. The
decision of an English court is never binding upon a Scottish court.
The decisions of the House of Lords sitting as an English court will
be of a persuasive nature in a Scottish case.
There are also specialist courts which deal with particular areas,
such as industrial disputes, land matters, criminal charges against
children, and heraldry. The courts have a long history. The Sheriff
courts date back to the 12th century, the Court of Session was
established in 1532, and the High Court of Justiciary was established
in 1672.
Scottish judges will sit on both criminal and civil courts, although
some may be seen as specialising in particular areas. The judges are
appointed by the Crown from practising lawyers, both solicitors and
advocates.
The Not Proven Verdict
----------------------
Scots law is unusual in allowing three alternative verdicts in a
criminal trial. Although the "Not Proven" verdict is known, incorrectly,
as the third verdict, it has a 300 year history in Scotland. Even though
it has a long history it has been the subject of criticism since 1827
when Sir Walter Scott, novelist and Sheriff, described the not proven
verdict as "that bastard verdict, not proven."
The verdict of not proven is essentially one of acquittal. In all
respects the verdicts of not guilty and not proven have exactly the same
legal effects. In practice it is thought that a verdict of not proven
simply means that the judge or jury have reasonable doubt as to the
accused's guilt. It is interesting to note that the not proven verdict
is used in one third of acquittals by juries, and in one fifth of
acquittals in non-jury trials. Because of the higher number of non-jury
trials ninety per cent of all not proven verdicts are returned in such
cases. It is generally thought that the verdict gives juries, and judges,
an option between not guilty and guilty where they feel that the charges
have not been proved but they equally cannot say the accused is "not
guilty" because of its moral connotations.
Current challenge to the verdict stems from the dissatisfaction and
feelings of injustice suffered by the families of victims of crime.
Political influence has also been apparent, in 1993 George Robertson
tabled a Private Members Bill to abolish the verdict.
The legal profession has been divided over the issue most of this
century. A number of eminent judges have attacked the verdict.
One saying that it was theoretically and historically indefensible,
Lord Moncrieff in 1906. Others have supported it. In 1964 Lord Justice
General Clyde stated that "for upwards of 200 years a not proven verdict
has been available . . . and no convincing argument has been advanced to
justify its elimination from our law." One view from England helped to
explain the reason for the not proven verdict, Judge Gerald Sparrow
wrote, "I have often thought that the distinction typifies the
different spirit of Scottish and English law: the Scottish being the
more logical, the English more sporting." The original verdicts in
Scots law were "culpable" and "convict"; or "cleanse". Guilty and
not guilty were introduced by Cromwell during the Usurpation, when he
imposed English judges on Scotland. After the reformation the Scots
courts reverted to asking judges to find whether the facts in
the indictment were "proven" or "not proven." The "not guilty" verdict
was reintroduced in 1723 in the trial of Carnegie of Findhorn for the
murder of the Earl of Strathmore. In 1975 the Thomson Committee which
examined Scottish criminal procedure recommended that the three verdict
system be retained. In 1993 the Scottish Office said that "it was not
convinced that there was enough groundswell of dissatisfaction from
the public and, crucially, from the legal profession" to justify any
scrutiny of the not proven verdict. Most recently in 1994 the Government
in a White Paper, Firm but Fair, dealing, inter alia, with the verdict
made no proposals for any changes as in the absence of "a considerable
weight of informed opinion against the verdict" the three verdict
system should be retained.
It would appear that there is no immediate prospect that there will
be any change in the current three verdict system.
Trespass
--------
It is a perpetual myth that there are no trespass laws in Scotland. Even
before the recent Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 which has
been referred to in posts below, trespass has long been a delict (civil
wrong) which is remediable by the remedies of interdict and damages.
Trespassers may also be asked to leave the property, and if they do
not comply, may be forcibly removed.
Furthermore certain types of trespass have been criminal since the Trespass
(Scotland) Act 1865 was passed, an Act no-one has ever heard of. Section 3
makes it an offence for any person to lodge in any premises, or occupy or
encamp on any land, being private property, without the consent of the
owner or legal occupier. Admittedly this section envisages a degree of
permanency which will not be present in every situation of trespass.
Land Reform
-----------
The Scots Law Commission has published a consultation document towards
drafting the Abolition of Feudal Tenure (Scotland) bill. This is intended
to abolish feudal superiors, and currently proposes to replace the
existing system of Real Burdens with "Community Burdens" and "Neighbour
Burdens"
A bill based on the draft contained in this consultation document is
being put before the Scottish Parliament in the 1999-2000 session.
To get a free copy of the document, the address is:
Scots Law Commission
140 Causewayside
Edinburgh
EH9 1PR
Comments by experienced practitioners in this field of law are sought, but
reasoned contributions of any type will no doubt be welcomed. So all those
who had particular views on change of the system, this is your opportunity
to participate. The consultation period ended on 31 Jan 1999.
