Decision details
Late Night Levy
Decision Maker: Chief Executive
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
To rescind the commencement date of the late
night levy and permit a further date to be set to enable a
consultation to be undertaken.
Reasons for the decision:
To avoid a matter of litigation, where advice
received by Legal Services is that the Council may not be
successful in defending its decision to introduce the late night
levy in the Borough.
The use of the Chief Executive's delegation under Part 2 of the
Constitution, Article 12.06(c)(ii) has avoided this additional
expenditure and has provided the Council to re consider this matter
after a further consultation.
Alternative options considered:
The Council could have determined to contest
the case, however considerable financial expenditure may have been
committed without a realistic prospect of successful outcome.
