Urgent update - All of the hearings this week will take place virtually. Please see below for more details.

Over the weekend a number of people that were present at the face to face hearings have tested positive for Covid. It's been decided by the inspectors, in consultation with the council, that the only responsible thing to do given this change in circumstances, is to hold the hearings this week virtually using Microsoft Teams.

This will take time to organise so please don't contact the Programme Officer (PO) unless it's urgent as she'll be extremely busy organising the virtual events.  All of the people who've been notified that they're eligible to appear this week will receive an invite to the virtual meeting via email. You'll receive a different e-mail for different sessions if you're due to appear at more than one. Emails may not all arrive on the same day as the PO will be working through them in priority order eg Tuesday’s session first. Those wishing to observe the sessions will be able to do so by following a link on the examination website for each session. In addition, the virtual sessions will be recorded and placed on the examination website in due course. 

Matter 3 update 
Also, the inspectors were unable to get through all of the agenda items for Matter 3 held Thursday 7 July, as they considered that it was more important that they fully considered all of the items on the agenda and allowed all participants to exercise their right to be heard during the hearing session. The outstanding items on the agenda which are still to be considered are numbers 20-25.  It was agreed at the end of the day on Thursday that matter 3 would be concluded at a virtual hearing session on Friday 15 July, beginning at 9:30am. Those plans currently remain the same.  Persons who are eligible to appear at matter 3 eg those listed on the programme as a participant for the afternoon session of Matter 3 will be sent an invite to the meeting in due course.  As set out above, those wishing to observe will be able to do so by following a link on the examination website and again the session will be recorded and uploaded to the examination website. 

Matter 7 and 8 update 
The change to Friday’s programme has resulted in a couple of other changes to the agenda. Firstly, matter 5 will be dealt with after matter 3 on Friday, in a virtual manner also.  Secondly, Matter 8 will now commence immediately after matter 7 on Thursday morning and will be dealt with in totality on Thursday.  

Please continue to check this latest news page for further updates.

The agendas for the hearing sessions have now been published. Please note that the Inspectors will be adhering strictly to their agenda for each hearing session. These can be found on the Examination Stage Documents page under Hearing Documents in their respective Matters.
