Before this the Chief Executive has been ordained by the Sheriff to appear in front of the court to explain the board's
decision not to grant legal aid to cover the expenses on Judge Panzer's appearance as a defence witness. This is only
the second time in Scottish legal history that this has been done.
Judge Ulf Panzer will appear as a defence witness on Wednesday 13th October
Along with other judges and prosecutors he took part in a sit down blockade outside a nuclear weapons base in Germany and was arrested. He is a serving judge with powers slightly greater than those of a Sheriff in Scotland
