The way that the Scottish Government's deposit return scheme (DRS) was set up by the firm behind it was unlawful, a court has ruled.
Lanarkshire shopkeeper Abdul Majid won a judicial review against the firm which was set up to oversee the scheme by the Court of Session on Friday.
Majid, who runs Costcutter and Baba’s Kitchen in Bellshill, challenged the legality of the retailer handling fees which Circularity Scotland was trying to impose. The company proposed that retailers would have to pay a fee for each item of scheme packaging collected.
