General exception notice

This item is subject to the General Exception procedure. It is proposed to take a key decision and/or consider an item in private session on the decision date shown below. It would be impracticable to defer the decision until it has been included on the next Decisions Plan. This notice has been issued by the Assistant Director (HR, Legal and Democratic Services). Appropriate discussions have been held with the Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee and agreement sought for the intended decision to be made by the expected date, where necessary.

Reason for urgency:
Settlement is required for a matter directly relevant to enforcement and to prevent escalation to the Ombudsman. Details cannot be revealed as they could prejudice enforcement and identify individuals causing prejudice to the Council and third parties.

Given the timeframe that is being worked to resolve this matter, it has not been possible to provide for 28 days notice of the decision. Under the Access to Information Procedure Rules of the Council’s Constitution, paragraph 16.1 relates to a Key Decision (which this is) and the consideration of matters in private, requires that where the normal procedure cannot be followed, the Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee is to be informed as to why the taking of the decision cannot be reasonably deferred. This has been undertaken accordingly.
