“We have consulted with a local solicitor and established that any challenge to the Moray Council decision would need to be made via a judicial review at the Court of Session. Details of our complaint has now been passed to advocates who will be in a position to advise us on if, in their opinion, a judicial review stands any chance of succeeding. We will also be informed of the likely costs involved in raising an action in the Court of Session.”
