Document Request to incur greater sum of money on legal proceedings than permitted under delegated authority

The Committee agreed that it was important to undertake enforcement action in cases where serious breaches of regulations were identified.  This was particularly the case when it related to the safety of residents.  The proposal set out in the officer’s report was therefore supported.

It was resolved that authority be granted to incur further legal costs up to the amount set out in the officer’s exempt report, to meet the legal costs associated with this matter, be agreed.
