'THE praetice Of a union paying fines J. imposed on members for speeding offences was described by Sheriff Middleton at Dunfermline, last week, as "granting an individual immunity from the law." "It is entirely wrong," he commented.
• Imposing a fine of £3 on a Glasgow van driver, the sheriff told the defendant's representative: "You can inform this union that if it is going to grant .immunity to its members, then I will have to step up the fines so that the union is sufficiently punished."
