The minute of meeting of this Committee of 22nd March, 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.

APPEAL AGAINST DISMISSAL (PA08/10)

It was reported that an appeal against dismissal from an employee of Dundee Contract Services Department had been submitted.

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

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 a period of six months further training should be provided in order to enable the appellant to complete his apprenticeship, subject to his being certified fit for work.

Jimmy BLACK, Convener.
