Biffa Waste Services goes to the Court of Session seeking Scottish government compensation.
A waste firm has begun legal action against the Scottish government for a £55m financial loss it claims it suffered by investing in the deposit return scheme .
The firm which was due to manage it - Circularity Scotland - later went into administration, with Biffa Waste Services Ltd one of its largest creditors. The DRS was supposed to boost recycling by charging a 20p deposit on every drinks container, which would be refunded through an empties return system.Why has Scotland's deposit return scheme been delayed?It was agreed that a debate should take place later this year into legal issues affecting the case.
"This was done in good faith and on the expectation and understanding that the delivery of the scheme had been mandated by the Scottish government.
