The issue isn't whether he lied about the memo, the issue is whether the things he said and did during that affair, affected the election campaign in Orkney to such an extent as to amount to deception of the electorate, requiring the contest to be re-run.

IMO it's an utterly spurious and vexatious case that should have been chucked out before it got anywhere near the courts, but so much of officialdom is scared of being piled on by hordes of nippy nats at the moment, I think the authorities had a collective failure of moral backbone and just let it through for an easy life.

My prediction is that the case won't succeed and we will then have to endure the tedious whining of the nats, about official bias to the establishment, etc etc etc.
