A standards committee of a local authority investigated a councillor’s conduct on a complaint by a staff member. They found her behaviour to be below the standard to be expected but resolved to impose no sanction.
Held: The committee was in error in thinking that it had any power or place to consider disciplining a member of the authority. Its function was administrative not disciplinary, and the resolution was itself inappropriate.
