Brondesbury Park Conservative ward councillors have tabled the following motion for the full Brent Council Meeting to be held on September 7th 2015:
This Council agrees to an independent inquiry into all aspects of the Rosemarie Clarke Employment Tribunal case.
This Council agrees that the inquiry shall commence at the conclusion of the Tribunal remedy hearing. We further agree that the inquiry costs shall be funded from reserves ,and that the new Chief Executive shall be charged with setting up the inquiry panel.
The new Chief Executive will have overall responsibility for setting the terms of reference, but this Council agrees that the following questions will be included in the terms of reference...........
1. What was the rationale behind the Council initially bringing disciplinary action against M/ s Clarke.... and was it fair and reasonable?
2.Why did the Council pursue this matter so vigorously through the Tribunal ......and was it fair and reasonable?
3. What part ,if any, did this case figure in the departure of Fiona Ledden from Brent?
4.What part, if any, did this case figure in the departure of Cara Davani from Brent?
5. What were the financial arrangements behind Ms Davani ‘s departure from Brent, including any Brent indemnity given to Ms Davani in respect of Tribunal costs awarded against her personally?
6. What part, if any, did this case figure in the departure of Christine Gilbert from Brent?
7. What part did Cllr. Butt play in this case throughout its course?
8. What were the total costs in this case.......and was it a fair and reasonable way to spend Council taxpayer monies?
This Council believes this is an important independent inquiry, and that both Brent Council staff and Brent residents would support such an inquiry
