Court of Criminal Appeal : Lady Clark posted as 'missing'

Lady Clark, who was listed to appear on the bench at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh, has been posted as “missing” (what do you do if the judge doesn't show up ? - Ed)

The Scotsman reports :

Debut judge posted missing

Published Date: 01 April 2009

A COURT was delayed yesterday after a judge failed to turn up for her maiden appearance on the appeal bench.

Lady Clark was listed as the third member of the bench at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh, but proceedings did not start as scheduled at 10:30am. The two other judges, Lords Osborne and Reed, with a substitute, Lord Kinclaven, were led into court 45 minutes later.

Lord Osborne said the reasons for Lady Clark's absence had not been ascertained and efforts to track her down had failed.
