disciplinary measure; suspension; complaint dismissed

Consideration 2

Extract:

"Since this precautionary measure [suspension] imposes a constraint on the staff member, it must be legally founded, justified by the requirements of the organisation and in accordance with the principle of proportionality. A measure of suspension will not be ordered except in cases of serious misconduct. This decision is a matter of discretion and is subject therefore to only limited review by the Tribunal, that is to say, if it was taken without authority or in breach of a rule of form or of procedure, or was based on an error of fact or of law, or overlooked some essential fact, or was tainted with abuse of authority, or if a clearly mistaken conclusion was drawn from the evidence (see, for example, Judgment 2365, under 4(a))."
