While we were away, this nationalist government quietly dropped its proposals to abolish corroboration from criminal court cases. The whole thing had simply run aground with unprecedented oppositon from lawyers and senior judges. The proposals were, of course, crazy from the very beginning.
The only senior legal figures whom we are aware supported removal of corroboration were Frank Mulholland, the Lord Advocate, and Lord Carloway, Lord Justice Clerk.

Whither now, Lord Carloway? Will you fall on your sword, or on your wig, or off Beinn Iomhair?
