SCCRC
Taylor was reappointed Commissioner at the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission by Royal Warrant from January 1, 2002 for a further fixed term of four years expiring on December 31, 2005. However, he undertook to resign immediately from the SCCRC if his former client Megrahi were to apply to the Commission for a review of the case. Megrahi applied on September 23, 2003 and Taylor duly resigned on the same day. In a tribute to one of the founding Commissioners, the SCCRC chairman said: "The Commission greatly values the service which Mr Taylor has given to the Commission over the past four years. I understand and appreciate Mr Taylor's position in deciding to take this course of action."
