Decisions - February 2006

The Board of the BCC met on 6th February 2006 to consider and/or adjudicate upon 24 complaints. Consideration of one complaint was deferred as the Commission was still awaiting the submission of the relevant audio material. Two other complaints for adjudication were deferred for further consideration. A submission for anonymity on one complaint was considered, but not granted. The summaries of the complaints on which full adjudications were made are accessible on this page (note, all complaint summaries are in MS word format).
