Question from: County Councillor Elwyn Vaughan Subject: Teeth whitening case costs
Question:
What was the total cost to the Council for pursuing this case? Costs need to include QCs, Barristers/Solicitors appointed by PCC including all travelling expenses and hotel accommodation and also travelling and hotel accommodation for all PCC Officers who attended Court Hearings all over Wales and beyond. Officers' time should also be included.
Minutes: Response by the Portfolio Holder:
No relevant cost schedule has been prepared in the case covering the cost of internal staff as the case proceeded via the proceeds of crime route. Legal cost were circa £500K. Any wider assessment would have to look at historical files, which is currently not possible due to the pandemic. This exercise will be completed once resources permit.
