Report of the Comptroller and City Solicitor.

The Assessment Sub-Committee considered a report of the Comptroller & City Solicitor relative to a complaint against a Common Councilman received on 22^nd July 2018.

The Sub-Committee considered whether the allegation would, if proven, amount to a breach of the Members’ Code of Conduct. 

Having considered the complaint and the elected Member’s written comments on it, the Sub-Committee was of the unanimous view, the Independent Person being in agreement, that his conduct amounted to a potential breach of paragraphs 2(l) and 2(m) of the Members’ Code of Conduct.  In light of the Member’s subsequent actions the Sub-Committee agreed however that, in the circumstances, no further action should be taken.

RESOLVED:- That –

(i)         the report of the Comptroller & City Solicitor be noted; and

(ii)        no further action should be taken in respect of the complaint and the Member in question advised accordingly by the Comptroller & City Solicitor.
