Dear Sub Officer X

FIRE SERVICES (DISCIPLINE) REGULATIONS, 1985 CHARGES OF DISOBEDYENCE TO ORDERS AND ABSENCE WITHOUT LEAVE

I refer to my letter dated 11th November 1998.

I am writing to confirm that the provisional date of the 3rd December set for the hearing of the charges referred to above is no longer practicable, and the hearing is therefore postponed to a date yet to be arranged.

In view of the fact that you have named all the Principal Officers of the Brigade as witnesses in your defence of these charges, I am left with no alternative but to refer this matter to Mr Dave Morgan of County Personnel, and ask that he arranges for these charges to be heard by a disciplinary Tribunal of elected members, in the same way as the earlier charge of insubordination.

I believe Mr Morgan has contacted you already to begin the process of reviewing your witness lists.


If you have any queries arising from the contents of this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me at these headquarters by telephoning the number shown above.

I enclose a copy of this letter for you to pass to your union representative.


Yours sincerely

KE Seager
Assistant Chief Fire officer (Technical)
Brigade Investigating Officer
