General subject of the matter to be considered	Reasons for passing this resolution in relation to each matter	Ground(s) under section 48(1) for the passing of this resolution	Reason for Confidentiality
C1  Legal matter	S7(2)(g) The withholding of the information is necessary to maintain legal professional privilege.

To maintain legal privilege.

This resolution is made in reliance on Section 48(1)(a) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987, and the particular interest or interests protected by Section 6 or Section 7 of that Act, or Section 6 or Section 7 or Section 9 of the Official Information Act 1982, as the case may require, which would be prejudiced by the holding of the whole or the relevant part of the proceedings of the meeting in public are as shown above after each item.

That representatives from Simpson Grierson be permitted to remain at this meeting, after the public has been excluded, because of their specific expertise of the matter to be discussed. This expertise, which will be of assistance in relation to the matter to be discussed, is relevant to that matter because of the legal advice required.
