Senior Paphos Municipality Official Returns to Duty After Court Ruling

A senior official of the Paphos Municipality, who had been dismissed, has returned to her duties following a court ruling. The court's decision sided with the official, finding that the presence of the Municipality's Legal Counsel as a secretary at the Municipal Council meeting, following a decision by the Mayor, was crucial to the outcome of the appeal. The court ruled that there is no provision in the law for the presence of a non-employee at meetings for taking minutes. As a result, the official will receive the wages she lost during her dismissal, and the matter is expected to be discussed at a plenary session of the Municipal Council.
