Falkirk Council
The long drawn out settlement saga with Falkirk Council - is being given one final chance to succeed.
Previous discussions with Falkirk led to an 'in principle' agreement with the council being reached.
The agreement should have led to issue new settlement offers being issued to Action 4 Equality Scotland clients.
But the council moved the goalposts at the eleventh hour - and everyone's hopes were dashed again.
Having marched up and down the hill on more than one occasion now - it's impossible, dangerous even to make firm predictions about what will happen next.
The current position is that the Full Council is meeting next week on Wednesday 23 June 2010 - and will again consider an 'in principle' agreement covering all of the outstanding cases.
So, the ball is firmly in Falkirk Council's court - but for one last time.
If they deliver it's all systems go - if they don't it's straight back to the Employment Tribunals.
