Decisions - September 2006

The Board of the BCC met on 4 September 2006 to consider and/or adjudicate upon eighteen complaints. The Commission considered two complaints to be invalid and consideration of one complaint was deferred to the next meeting of the Board. The Commission determined that two complaints would be published in title only. The sensitivity of the subject matter overrides the public interest in making the details publicly available.

 

The summaries of thirteen complaints on which full adjudications were made are accessible on this page (note, all complaint summaries are in MS word format).
