| Description | The Scottish government has admitted acting unlawfully while investigating sexual harassment claims against Alex Salmond.
Allegations against the former first minister, which he denies, were made to the Scottish government a year ago.
The government has now admitted it breached its own guidelines by appointing an investigating officer who had "prior involvement" in the case.
As a result, it conceded defeat in its legal fight with Mr Salmond.
Mr Salmond's case focused entirely on the fairness of the government's procedures and will have no bearing on a separate police inquiry into the allegations, which is still ongoing. |
