PREMIUM 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.
