EDUCATION DEPARTMENT - APPEAL AGAINST DISMISSAL (PA37)

There was submitted an appeal against dismissal by an employee of the Education Department.

The Sub-Committee heard the Council's representative and witnesses and thereafter the appellant and his witness.

After questions had been put and answers given by both parties to each other and the witnesses and by members of the Sub-Committee, the parties withdrew.

Thereafter, following careful consideration of all the information, the Sub-Committee agreed that the grounds of the appeal had been substantiated in part and that the appeal be upheld to the extent that the dismissal be replaced by a final written warning.
