Summary

Extract:

The complainants, who applied for a vacant post put up for competition, wish to have the results set aside. The Tribunal is satisfied on the evidence that the selection procedure shows several serious flaws, of which at least two are fatal: in breach of Manual provision II.3.340 no short-list had been drawn up and the Director-General drew had drawn mistaken conclusions from the evidence before him in dismissing the Appeals Boards' findings of improprieties.
