Scottish government sued over delayed Sturgeon inquiry files

What happened: The Scottish Information Commissioner has initiated legal action against the Scottish government for missing a deadline to release documents related to the Sturgeon inquiry.

Why it matters:

  • The delay affects transparency and public trust in the inquiry process.
  • It impacts those seeking access to information about the inquiry, including journalists and the public.

MNN Take: The government is legally required to provide requested documents within set timescales, and failure to do so can lead to court proceedings to enforce compliance.
