Meetings—executive decision-making process

This Practice Note explains the three basic models of governance for local authorities. It covers the distinction between decisions which are executive and non-executive or council decisions. It covers the strict requirements about the convening of meetings and the notice that must be given, and discusses rules relating to the agenda, minutes and executive meetings.Executive and non-executive decision makingThere are three basic models of governance for local authorities:•the Committee System, whereby the Council comprising all councillors appoints select politically-balanced committees of councillors and delegates functions to those committees and to officers. These councils are not required to have an Overview and Scrutiny Committee, although some do. This is the only non-executive governance model•the Executive Leader and Cabinet Model, whereby the Council comprising all councillors elects an Executive Leader, who appoints a maximum of nine other councillors as members of the Executive (or 'Cabinet'). The Executive Leader is elected by full council for a term determined by the council, or on a four yearly basis. This model is the most common...

Can a part-time, fixed-term or term-time only employee be prevented from working elsewhere during the times they are not working for the employer?

Can a part-time, fixed-term or term-time only employee be prevented from working elsewhere during the times they are not working for the employer? An employee will be under certain implied duties during employment. These will vary depending on the seniority of the employee and whether they are subject to a duty of fidelity or a more onerous fiduciary duty. For further details, see Practice Note: The duty of fidelity and fiduciary duties. An employer may wish to confirm or supplement these implied duties by seeking to restrain an employee from undertaking any business activities other than those of the employer during employment, whether within or outside working hours. For further guidance on these provisions generally, see the section of Practice Note: Restrictions and other express terms during employment entitled ‘Restrictions on other business activities’. Consideration should be given to whether any ban on spare time business activity should be total or partial: • a total ban seeks to prevent any business activity—this would typically be more appropriate for a senior,...

What powers does an investigator have to compel the witness to provide a statement during a criminal investigation, where a witness is known to be in the possession of crucial evidence, but is unwilling to provide a section 9 witness statement? Can the witness be forced to give evidence at trial?

What powers does an investigator have to compel the witness to provide a statement during a criminal investigation, where a witness is known to be in the possession of crucial evidence, but is unwilling to provide a section 9 witness statement? Can the witness be forced to give evidence at trial? Certain regulators have specific powers to compel witnesses to give statements during investigations. These are statutory powers which can be used during an investigation into suspected offences and the witness is compelled to attend the interview to answer questions or to provide information. However, as these are powers to compel and the witness has no right of silence as they would do in an interview under caution, there are statutory safeguards restricting the use of any information obtained from the compulsory interview powers. The contents of the interviews cannot be used in evidence against the maker in their subsequent criminal trial unless: • the trial is a prosecution for an offence of providing false or...
