A TyCOON’S legal challenge to stop an energy giant building ‘monster’ pylons near one of Scotland’s ‘most historic and iconic landmarks’ was deemed ‘incompetent’ by a sheriff yesterday.
Self-styled lady of the manor Samantha Kane was seeking a court order to block Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks’ (SSEN) plans to build the imposing metal structures near Carbisdale Castle in Sutherland.
But Lady Carbisdale’s legal bid hit a stumbling block yesterday when a sheriff refused to call her case, saying her writ was ‘incompetent’.
Ms Kane, who is also a barrister, was told that as the document had not been signed by a lawyer and there had been no representations to the court, the case ‘will not be warranted until these matters have been addressed’.
When she tried to speak, Sheriff Robert McDonald told her: ‘you have no locus here. We’re done.’https://www.pressreader.com/article/281913073287356?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3lNjbvClOpzwtZ6hkKvLKZEPODwKre6h1xaD8L9KQ01vZdGKbnUHBL9TI_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw
