How to apply

You or your solicitor can apply to the Scottish Ministers for compensation by filling in the miscarriage of justice application form.

You may need to attach supporting documents with your application, for example:

Return the form and any supporting documents to:

The Scottish Government
Criminal Law and Practice Unit

The Scottish Government cannot give legal advice. Speak to a solicitor or support organisation if you need help or advice for your application.
