Margo MacDonald MSP speaks in support of Petition 1247 (McKenzie Friends for Scotland).
McKenzie Friends have existed in the English courts for some 40 years, quietly helping party litigants and the unrepresented in England's courts for decades, while Scots have been excluded from this facility, simply because the Scottish legal establishment dont want any competition. After all, why pay an expensive lawyer to much up your case when it may well be you can best represent your own legal affairs, with the help of a free McKenzie Friend. Who more than yourself, knows your own case anyway ?
