THE former boss of a
child abuse investigation is suing the Scottish Government for £500,000
over claims they forced her to quit. Former chair Susan O’Brien QC stood down saying ministerial interference meant the probe wasn’t able to work independently.
Ms O’Brien’s legal team claim her resignation came as Holyrood forces were attempting to have her SACKED, we can reveal. The highly respected lawyer says they had earlier threatened to remove her which they called “the nuclear option”.
