Order of the Court of 6 December 2012 (copy attached), concerning the Post-implementation review of the Governance Arrangements. Please see the second page of the Order for the matter of relevance to this Board.

The Board received an Order of the Court of Common Council of 6 December 2012, concerning the Post-implementation review of the Governance Arrangements, particularly those matters which were of direct relevance to them.

The Board noted that it had been decided that no action was to be taken to limit the number of Governors who can serve on each Board. The Chairman reported that Mrs Moys was now the first Governor to be appointed on to more than one City School Board following her successful election to the Board of Governors of the City of London School at last week’s Court of Common Council meeting.

The Town Clerk reported that the Court had also ruled that the rule whereby Members are not able to seek election as Chairman of a Ward or non-Ward Committee unless they have served on that Committee in any capacity in the previous year be dispensed with and that Standing Order No. 29 (3)(a) be deleted.
