Good morning and welcome to the 35th meeting in 2017 of the Justice Committee.
Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private, both today and at future meetings, consideration of our draft stage 1 report on the Civil Litigation (Expenses and Group Proceedings) (Scotland) Bill. Do members agree to consider our draft report in private?
Members indicated agreement.
We have received apologies from Mary Fee; I welcome Claire Baker to the committee as her substitute.
We have also received an indication that the Minister for Community Safety and Legal Affairs is going to be a little late. Given the heavy agenda, will we move to item 4, which is consideration of subordinate legislation?
Members indicated agreement.
