(349)  SEND FOR A SCOTS LAWYER AGAIN

The Scottish judge Lord Bonomy has been appointed to replace Judge Richard May at the trial before the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague of the former Serbian leader, Slobodan Milosevic.  Ill-health forced Judge May to stand down two years into the trial in February 2004.  The principle enunciated not quite a week ago by Andrew Marr of the BBC (see No 342) appears to have been applied once more.  7 April 2004.
