Integrity Commissioner finds Warden breached Code of Conduct by threatening reprisal, but recommends no penalty.
An unnamed complainant alleged that the Respondent, Warden Jennifer Murphy, breached the Council Code of Conduct by threatening a reprisal.
The Respondent had sent Facebook messages to a family member of the complainant, stating her intention to sue the complainant.
The Integrity Commissioner found that the Respondent's threat of litigation constituted a reprisal under the Code of Conduct, regardless of whether the original complaint was upheld.
However, given that the Respondent acknowledged the error and apologized to the family member, the Commissioner recommended that no penalty be imposed.
