A judge at the Court of Session has ruled that the City of Edinburgh Council’s licensing scheme for short-term lets is unlawful.
Lord Braid’s decision in a Judicial Review of the Short Term Lets Licensing Policy comes as the result of a challenge by a group of accommodation providers which raised more than £300,000.
The proceedings were brought by Ralph Averbuch, Glenn Ford, Louise Brook and Craig Douglas - with Iain Muirhead and Anna Morris providing support - in what was the largest crowdfunder in Scottish legal history.
