SCJC announces five member appointments

25th May 2016 | careers , civil litigation

Five members, three of them new, have been appointed to the Scottish Civil Justice Council for the three years from 28 May 2016.

Solicitors Joel Conn and Brandon Malone, and consumer representative Jane Williams, are the new members who join employment judge Joseph d’Inverno and consumer representative Ian Maxwell, both reappointed to the SCJC.

Mr Malone and Judge d'Inverno fill the places that are at the discretion of the Lord President.

Mr Conn is a partner in Morton Fraser’s litigation division based in Glasgow, specialising in commercial litigation and debt recovery; Mr Malone, a solicitor advocate, is an accredited specialist in construction law and arbitration law, regularly sits as an arbitrator and chairs the Scottish Arbitration Centre’s board as well as serving as co-director of the International Centre for Energy Arbitration.

Ms Williams is a lecturer in business law at Queen Margaret University and plays a key role in the University’s Consumer Dispute Resolution Centre, a centre of excellence for continuing professional development, research and knowledge exchange in dispute resolution. Mr Maxwell is the national development manager for Families Need Fathers Scotland.

Welcoming the appointees, the Lord President, Lord Carloway, who chairs the SCJC, commented: “I look forward to working with each of them. Their knowledge and experience will be a valuable contribution to the Council’s work in taking forward the historic reforms proposed in the Scottish Civil Courts Review.

“I would also like to thank those leaving the Council, Eric Baijal (solicitor member), Lauren Bruce (consumer representative member) and Professor Frances Wasoff (Lord President member), for their excellent work during their tenure.”
