The Democracy & Organisation Committee, as the
Employing Authority, has delegated to this Sub-Committee the determination of
benefits for individual applications for early retirement.
Reports PB5 sets
out 8 applications for early retirement in total.
The public should be excluded during this item because its discussion in
public would be likely to lead to the disclosure to members of the public
present of information in the following prescribed categories:
1.
Information relating to any
individual;
2. Information which is likely to reveal
the identity of an individual;
3. Information relating to the financial
or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding
that information)
and since it is considered that, in all the circumstances of the case,
the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest
in disclosing the information, in that such disclosure would infringe the
rights of the individual to privacy contrary to the general law and the duty of
the authority to respect human rights and to comply with that law and contrary
to the authority’s duties as a fair employer.
The
Sub-Committee is RECOMMENDED to:
(a)
note the
cases for early retirement and to determine the individual benefits to be paid;
and
(b)
receive any
information arising from previous cases.
Minutes:
The Sub–Committee
resolved that the public be excluded for the duration of item 5 in the Agenda
since it was likely that if they were present during this item there would be
disclosure of exempt information as defined in Part 1 of Schedule 12 A to the
Local Government ACT 1972 (as amended) and specified in relation to the item in
the Agenda and since it was considered that, in all the circumstances of each
case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public
interest in disclosing the information.
The Democracy & Organisation Committee, as the Employing
Authority, had delegated to this Sub-Committee the determination of benefits
for individual applications for early retirement.
The Sub-Committee considered a report (PB5) which set out 8
such applications.
Having considered the 8 applications in the report the
Sub-Committee:
RESOLVED: to note the cases for early retirement and
determine the individual benefits to be paid as set out in the annexes to the
report (PB5).
