Gordon Jackson QC found guilty of professional misconduct

Gordon Jackson QC

Mr Jackson was caught on video making remarks about the complainers in the Alex Salmond trial,

A Faculty of Advocates disciplinary panel determined that the conversation breached a court order protecting the accusers’ anonymity.

Rape Crisis Scotland, which made the complaint that led to the investigation said Mr Jackson should be “stripped of his right to practise as a QC” [sic].

Mr Jackson said he would not be making any comment about the panel’s decision.

A Faculty spokesperson said that as the process was ongoing it would not be appropriate for Faculty to comment on the matter, beyond confirming it was correct to say that a finding of professional misconduct had been made regarding Mr Jackson.
