The minute of meeting of this Committee of 31st January, 2011 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 (PA2/11)

It was reported that an appeal against dismissal from an employee of the Social Work Department had been submitted.

The Council's representative requested that additional information in the form of a medical report relative to the Appellant which was referred to within the Council's submission, be submitted to the meeting. The Sub-Committee and the Appellant agreed to the submission of the document, which was then tabled.

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

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.

David BOWES, Convener.
