Law Society of Scotland pays tribute to Alison Britton

The Law Society of Scotland has paid tribute to former Committee member, Professor Alison Britton, who sadly passed away on Tuesday 2 July.

The Law Society’s Public Policy Committee Convener, John Mulholland, said: “I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former Law Society Committee member Alison Britton.

“Professor Britton  was one of the first members of our Public Policy Committee and as Convener of our Health and Medical Law Committee for seven years, her contribution will long be remembered. 

“Alison’s knowledge, expertise and tenacity were fundamental to the Law Society’s work on important legislation including the Human Tissues Bill and the Transvaginal Mesh Removal Bill – both of which she tackled with her characteristic combination of intellect and humanity.

“She was a familiar and welcome face at the Law Society offices and she will be missed by her friends and colleagues at the Society and across the legal profession. Our sincerest condolences go to her family, friends and colleagues.”
