Councillors have spoken out against a review panel's conclusion Perth and Kinross Council acted "appropriately" in the actions that led to it legally challenging a Scottish Government decision.
PKC spent £96,838 of taxpayers' money when it proceeded with a judicial review of the Scottish Ministers’ call-in notice over Abernyte Primary School - which PKC then lost.
A scrutiny review panel was "satisfied" PKC acted "appropriately" and concluded PKC had "strong legal grounds" to challenge the Scottish Government's decision.
