  • Judicial Review Portfolio Holders
    Appendix Title: Local Government Re-organisation – Judicial Review Portfolio Holders: Cllr Graham Payne, Leader Cllr Rod Eaton, Change and Integration Portfolio Holder Reporting Officer: Nicola Mathiason - Head of Legal and Democratic Services Andrew Pate - Chief Executive Key Decision: No ______________________________________________________________ Purpose • To decide whether to redirect the Council's legal efforts and resources, from a separate judicial review, to support for the Shrewsbury and Atcham and Congleton appeal. Background • On 8 August 2007 Cabinet agreed that the Council should commence legal proceedings for Judicial Review against the Secretary of State’s decision about Local Government Reorganisation in Wiltshire. The Council’s case has been ‘on hold’ until the result of the Shrewsbury and Congleton Judicial Review was known. The judgement in this case has now been delivered. The judicial review was unsuccessful. The High Court Judge held that the Secretary of State had common law powers available to her to carry out the process, that she did not have to be satisfied that a proposal met the criteria at the time of the assessment and that she had not acted irrationally. Key Issues • Advice has been taken from our Counsel (who also acts for Shrewsbury and Congleton) on whether we should now continue with our case in the light of the Shrewsbury judgement. We have been advised that unless the Shrewsbury judgement is appealed successfully we cannot effectively progress our case. The grounds of our case are similar and the arguments we would raise are much the same as Shrewsbury raised. We have been advised that we should focus on supporting an appeal by Shrewsbury and Congleton.

  • Local Government Review in the Derwentside District Council Area, County Durham
    Local Government Review in the Derwentside District Council Area, County Durham Research Study Conducted for The Boundary Committee for England April 2004 Contents Introduction 3 Summary of Key Findings 5 Methodology 7 Definitions of Social Grade and Area 11 Topline Findings (Marked-up Questionnaire) 13 Introduction This summary report presents the key findings of research conducted by the MORI Social Research Institute on behalf of The Boundary Committee for England in the Derwentside District Council area, County Durham. The aim of the research was to establish residents’ views about alternative patterns of unitary local government. Background to the Research In May 2003, the Government announced that a referendum would take place in autumn 2004 in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions on whether there should be elected regional assemblies. The Government indicated that, where a regional assembly is set up, the current two-tier structure of local government - district, borough or city councils (called in this report ‘districts’) and county councils - should be replaced by a single tier of ‘unitary’ local authorities. In June 2003, the Government directed The Boundary Committee for England (‘the Committee’) to undertake an independent review of local government in two-tier areas in the three regions, with a view to recommending possible unitary structures to be put before affected local people in a referendum at a later date. MORI was commissioned by COI Communications, on behalf of the Committee, to help it gauge local opinion. The research was in two stages. First, in summer 2003, MORI researched local residents’ views about local government and how they identify with their local community.

  • What the Crown May Do
    WHAT THE CROWN MAY DO 1. It is now established, at least at the level of the Court of Appeal (so that Court has recently stated)1, that, absent some prohibition, a Government minister may do anything which any individual may do. The purpose of this paper is to explain why this rule is misconceived and why it, and the conception of the “prerogative” which it necessarily assumes, should be rejected as a matter of constitutional law. 2. The suggested rule raises two substantive issues of constitutional law: (i) who ought to decide in what new activities the executive may engage, in what circumstances and under what conditions; and (ii) what is the scope for abuse that such a rule may create and should it be left without legal control. 3. As Sir William Wade once pointed out (in a passage subsequently approved by the Appellate Committee2), “The powers of public authorities are...essentially different from those of private persons. A man making his will may, subject to any rights of his dependants, dispose of his property just as he may wish. He may act out of malice or a spirit of revenge, but in law this does not affect his exercise of power. In the same way a private person has an absolute power to release a debtor, or, where the law permits, to evict a tenant, regardless of his motives. This is unfettered discretion.” If a minister may do anything that an individual may do, he may pursue any purpose which an individual may do when engaged in such activities.

  • Derwentside College
    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE Derwentside College August 1997 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education every four years. The inspectorate also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum and gives advice to the FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circular 93/28. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge and experience in the work they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member who does not work in education and a member of staff from the college being inspected.

During their inspection, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out in the reports. They also use a five-point grading scale to summarise the balance between strengths and weaknesses. The descriptors for the grades are: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses • grade 4 – provision in which the weaknesses clearly outweigh the strengths • grade 5 – provision which has many weaknesses and very few strengths.
