Decisions - January 2006
The Board of the BCC considered and/or adjudicated upon 9 complaints at its Board meeting held on 9 January 2006 . One of these complaints was considered frivilous and vexatious and was therefore closed without further investigation. One complaint was closed due to the lack of availability of the relevant audio material. Consideration of one complaint was deferred as the audio material had not yet been submitted. The summaries of the complaints on which full adjudications were made are accessible on this page. Four of these complaints were upheld and two were rejected (note, all complaint summaries are in MS word format).
