S.G.M. Reqisition - Finances - Appeals Committee - RUMOURS ?

The Requisition for a Special General Meeting about the concern arising from the Equity Council proposing to change the way it presents the finances was turned down by the Equity Council and under the rules referred to The Appeals Committee. I predicted that the Appeals Committee would turn down the appeal….usually on the basis it would cost Equity too much money and matters could wait until the Annual Representative Conference. I have received a number of enquiries asking why I have not published the result as the Appeal was held last Wednesday. There are rumours doing the rounds as to what happened, but officially I believe that the Appeals Committee’s decision, and reasons if they so publish, have to be firstly presented to The Council, which presumably will be at their 5th December meeting. Only after this date will the decision/information be available to us ordinary Equity members.
