Appeal - This was an appeal by the parents of two children against a decision of the learned sheriff who held that the grounds of referral had on the evidence led before him been established. The child was the son of the appellants. The learned sheriff found as a matter of fact that the child was under the supervision of the Children's Hearing. Grounds for referral were established at Glasgow Sheriff Court. The child was on the child protection register under the category of emotional abuse. The application for a stated case posed nine questions, the nature of which indicated that the attack was directed against the restriction in the ambit of any evidence which Dr Herbison and Professor Golding might give. The Sheriff Principal considered this and was also asked to comment on the decision of the Scottish Legal Aid Board not to grant legal aid to the parents for this appeal
