COUNCILLORS

Councillor Stewart HUNTER, Convener, in the Chair.

The minute of meeting of this Committee of 15th February, 2010 was held as read.

Unless marked thus * all items stand delegated.

The Sub-Committee resolved under Section 50(A)(4) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 that the press and 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.

GRIEVANCE APPEAL (PA03/10)

It was reported that a grievance appeal from an employee of the Education Department had been submitted.

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

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 Asif intimated his dissent from the foregoing decision.

Stewart HUNTER, Convener.
