In the High Court the county council, alongside the organisation Lawyers in Local Government, are seeking a 'declaratory judgement' for a correct and modern interpretation of 1972 local government legislation which dictates councillors must be 'present' at a council meeting in order to vote.
At today's hearing the High Court will be asked to determine whether 'presence' at a meeting could actually be virtual, as well as physical.
Cllr Williams says he remains "disappointed" that the government could not find the time to progress primary legislation that would allow remote or hybrid meetings to continue, but believes the prospects of a positive outcome of the court case are "very strong".
