Fishermen s fury: Ministers spend at least £30k contesting judge s demand to reconsider Scottish no-trawling scheme SCOTTISH ministers are contesting a judge s demand to reconsider a no-trawl scheme to protect Scotland s marine environment in a court battle that has already cost them £30,000. Lady Poole made the ruling after ministers said that the revisiting the proposed pilot no-trawl scheme would serve no practical purpose . She took action after, in a landmark legal judgement, the Scottish Creel Fishermen’s Federation (SCFF) won a court challenge over the right to trawl in Scotland s inshore waters which was expected to have a marked bearing in fishing rights across the country.
