Argyll and Bute Council Constitution - 16. Can a decision of the Council be changed?

  1. No motion which seeks to alter or revoke a decision of the Council or has that effect will be considered within a period of 6 months of the original decision. (CS)
     
  2. However, it will be competent to review a decision before the end of the 6 month period, provided:- (CS)
    1. That notice has been given on the agenda that the previous decision may be altered or revoked, unless it is inherent in the terms of a report of or minute of a Committee submitted to the Council; and
       
    2. The Provost is satisfied that a material change of circumstances has occurred. This means that the Provost must decide first whether there has been a new development which has a bearing on the original decision or that some important piece of information was not available when the original decision was made.  Secondly, the Provost must decide whether this change is material, which means that if the change had taken place before the Council took their decision, or they had known all the facts on which the decision was based, the change of circumstances would have influenced their judgement and they might reasonably have taken a different decision.
