Congratulations!
I t is with enormous pleasure that I take this opportunity to congratulate our colleague and LRS member Ian Taggart on having his pub lication cited in a House of Lords decision ( Doherty (Fc) and Others V Birmingham City Council , [2008] UKHL 57 , at para. 31 ). The decision concerns Gypsies/ Travellers and their rights under Article 8 European Convention on Human Rights. Ian's Article ' One Scotland Many Cultures?' was published in the SCOLAG Legal Journal, March 2008, pp. 66/ 67 . It is part of his extensive research into Travellers' rights in Scotland. His previous survey ' Moving on - again? ' , compiled in summer 2007 as part of his thesis, is available on the Aberdeenshire Council website. Ian's research related to the Council's community planning processes. Very well done, Ian!
