The Lord President has appointed Robin Macpherson as temporary Auditor of the Court of Session for 12 months from 1 April 2020.

Mr Macpherson, an experienced litigator and solicitor advocate, will also become auditor of the All Scotland Personal Injury Court and the Sheriff Appeal Court, effective from the same date.

In the period of his appointment we will work with him to develop a greater understanding of the role as it moves to become an employee of the SCTS with effect from 1 April 2021."
