He believed the “general connection between the Alba Party and transphobia was not disrespectful” and, although it would have been “more accurate” for Cllr Anderson to have “made it clear the Alba Party’s leader had been cleared of allegations of sexual misconduct”, the statement “had a basis in fact”.
Such inferences “without basis, could potentially, on the face of it, be considered disrespectful”, it added. However, a hearing would need to consider “the respondent’s right to freedom of expression under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights”.
