Article is login-walled, so I’ve only read the first few paragraphs. For clarity, what actually happened here? I’m unsure whether a new bill is being discussed that says this explicitly, or a _suggested_ interpretation of a bill by a lawmaker, or a _legal_ interpretation of a bill by a judge/magistrate. Those would all have different implications.
It appears to be a paraphrase of a quote by Scotland's justice secretary. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the paywall either, and what there is is incredibly vague.
