Coventry City Council Ordered To Apologise To Company And Director
Coventry City Council has been found to have conducted an "unreasonable campaign" against a company and its director.
The Local Government Ombudsman ruled that the council had committed "maladministration with injustice" as it upheld three complaints brought by Open Doors and its director John Kavangh.
The company claimed that after raising concerns with the council in 2006, they were "blackballed" and received not further council referrals.
The council has been ordered to apologise to the company and Mr Kavangh.
