³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio Cornwall's coverage of the Peter Lewis pay-off has prompted this intriguing statement from Cornwall Council:

"From time to time the Council will seek to resolve employment issues through a Compromise Agreement. This is not a regular or frequent approach. It can, however, be a helpful route for settling matters in the mutual interests of the Council and individual employees. This is particularly true where the issue is complex because a Compromise Agreement ensures that the risks and costs associated with addressing the issue through the normal processes and procedures are reduced. In all cases an assessment of risks and costs will underpin any Compromise Agreement, which will be subject in the most significant cases to informal discussion with the District Auditor and to member approval."

So what, I wonder, constitutes a "most significant case" worthy of "member approval?" Hard to think of one more high-profile than Peter Lewis, whose length of service with the council was not even long enough to qualify him for a hearing at an Industrial Tribunal.
Next full council meeting is on 27th July. Which of our 123 elected representatives is up for asking a question?
