Former Liverpool regeneration boss Nick Kavanagh gave the wrong information to the council's chief executive over the sale of land to the Elliot Group, a tribunal heard.
The information has been revealed in a judgement handed down by Judge Rachel Mellor, who presided over Nick Kavanagh's unfair dismissal case against the council. Nick Kavanagh, the director of regeneration at the city council, was arrested at the Cunard Building by Merseyside Police as part of the force's Operation Aloft in December 2019.
He was subsequently suspended from his chief officer job and was eventually dismissed in March 2021 following a council disciplinary hearing. Mr Kavanagh, who denies any wrongdoing and has not been charged, lost his unfair dismissal case against the council.
