The Sub-Committee resolved under Section 50(A)(4) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 that the public be excluded from the meeting for the undernoted item of business on the grounds that it involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 1 of Part I of Schedule 7A of the Act.

SOCIAL WORK DEPARTMENT - APPEAL AGAINST DISMISSAL (PA67)

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

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

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 not been substantiated and that the appeal be not upheld.

Councillor Morrow intimated his dissent from the foregoing decision.
