A decision on former Town Clerk Royston King’s challenge to his dismissal as Town Clerk by the Local Government Commission (LGC) is expected to be made by the High Court next Friday.

King was fired from the post of Town Clerk in January following a Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the financial affairs of City Hall.

King was dismissed via a letter, dated January 23rd, 2019, that cited gross misconduct as the reason for the dismissal, which was based on the findings of the CoI.
