West Lothian Council

A CMD hearing involving the outstanding West Lothian Council cases - took place in Edinburgh on Monday 18 October 2010.

The outcome of the CMD is that a GMF hearing will take place on dates to be confirmed - during the period April to June 2011.

While that is still some months away - the good news is that the council has run out of road - and will finally have to face the music.

In other areas, the prospect of a GMF hearing - where the employer has to explain and try to justify its discriminatory pay practices - has led to new offers of settlement.

Whether the same is true of West Lothian Council remains to be seen - but the council now has a few months to come to its senses - if it doens't, the GMF hearing will proceed.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
