Disgraced former Chief Executive of the SNP, Peter Murrell, will be represented in court by his lawnmower.
Murrell bought the £3,070 robot lawnmower and recorded the cost in the SNP accounts as 'legal fees'. He is now aiming to prove that the description is genuine and not incorrect by bringing the lawnmower to court, and using it to make his case.
Critics regard this as a bad move. They believe that the lawnmower will probably grass up Murrell. At best, it is likely to cut corners. As a robot lawnmower, it will be unable to think outside the box.
The judge, in a misjudged remark, said that the lawnmower would probably make a better job of cutting the defendant's hair.
