Agenda

The Board on this occasion will comprise:

Cllr Janet Duncton

Cllr Donna Johnson

Cllr Paul Linehan

Cllr John Turley

The Board is invited to appoint a Chairman at the meeting.

1.       The procedure to be followed at the appeal hearing is attached.

The Panel are invited to agree to change the order in which the appeal is heard on this occasion (paragraph 6 of the procedure) by calling the management side to present their evidence first. This is to enable one of their witnesses to give evidence in the morning, as they are not available later. The appellant would then be called to present their case. If the Panel agree to this, they would be varying the procedure to be followed at a hearing on this occasion only.

The Board is asked to consider in respect of the following items whether the public, including the press, should be excluded from the meeting on the grounds of exemption under Part I of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as indicated below and because, in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption of that information outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

The following documents are enclosed for members of the Board only.

Documents submitted by Human Resources for the management case (blue paper) including a summary list of those documents.

Exempt – paragraph 1, information about an individual and paragraph 7, information relating to any action taken or to be taken in connection with the prevention, investigation or prosecution of crime.

Documents submitted on behalf of the appellant.

Exempt – paragraph 1, information about an individual and paragraph 7, information relating to any action taken or to be taken in connection with the prevention, investigation or prosecution of crime.
