Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Leicester and are not the council. About us

The Employees Committee (Appeals) of Leicester Council met on Friday 28 August 2026. The primary item on the agenda was an appeal against dismissal, with both the appellant's and management's statements of case scheduled for review.

Appeal Against Dismissal

The committee was scheduled to consider an appeal against a dismissal. The report pack indicated that the Appellant's Statement of Case and the Management's Statement of Case were provided to all parties, along with a collection of background and general information. This item was designated for a private session, with the recommendation that the press and public be excluded due to the likely disclosure of exempt information relating to an individual. The exclusion was proposed on the grounds that taking all the circumstances into account, it is considered that the public interest in maintaining the information as exempt outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information .1


  1. Exempt information is defined by the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985 as information that, if disclosed, would be likely to prejudice the commercial interests of any person or the effective conduct of public affairs. In this context, it refers to personal details that are not suitable for public disclosure.
