The controversial six-figure payout deal paid to a North East council boss earlier this year included an agreement to drop ongoing complaints against three unnamed councillors.
Former Northumberland County Council CEO Daljit Lally was paid £209,000 to leave her role at the end of July, following a long-running dispute with leading councillors that had caused deadlock at the authority.
As part of the settlement, Mrs Lally agreed to cease all action against the council. Now, a report written by leading lawyer Samantha Broadfoot KC has revealed that the agreement included three complaints that have already been investigated, but are yet to be revealed to the public.
