The Hearings Sub-Committee is appointed by the Standards Committee. The Sub-Committee is comprised of Leeds City Councillors, Parish Councillors and Independent people who have no direct connection with the Council. The Sub-Committee is always chaired by the Chair of the Standards Committee or his/her nominee (however this must always be an Independent Member of the Standards Committee).
Role of the Committee
The Hearings Sub-Committee is responsible for considering and determining any complaints made against Members and for determining any sanction to be imposed on a finding of misconduct.
These decisions will be conducted in public meetings, unless it is not in the public interest for certain information regarding the case to be revealed. Agendas and minutes will also be available in relation to these meetings, unless the Hearings Sub-Committee decide to classify part of the agenda as exempt or confidential information.
Further information
The Hearings Sub-Committee has no fixed membership, but will include two Independent Members (one of whom will be the Chair), two Leeds City Councillors and one Parish Councillor comprised from the overall membership of the Standards Committee.
