The Scottish Law Commission was established by an Act of the UK Parliament in 1965 (alongside the Law Commission for England and Wales) to advise on law reform. There are five Commissioners: a Chairman (currently the Court of Session judge, Lord Pentland) and four others, one of whom is part-time. The Commission reports to both the Scottish and the UK governments. Its recommendations are based on research on the content and working of current law, comparative solutions, and the results of public consultation on the issues.
