A Sub-Panel consisting of three members drawn from the Panel of Independent Persons.

The Hearing Sub-Panel is tasked with receiving Complaints under the Code of Conduct referred to them by the Assessment Sub-Panel. The Hearing Sub-Panel are tasked with make a finding, on the balance of probabilities, whether a subject member has failed to comply with the code of conduct.  If so, the Hearing Panel will also consider what sanctions, if any, ought to be imposed. 

If the finding of the Hearing Sub-Panel is that there has been a breach of the code of conduct, this must be ratified by the Court of Common Council before it takes effect.  Following the expiry of the appeal period, if no appeal is received, the Town Clerk will draft a report to the next meeting of the Court of Common Council for decision.
