Consideration 6

Extract:

The complainant's "appraisal reports contain adverse comment by his supervisors, especially on his lack of initiative, and there is no evidence before the Tribunal to suggest that their views were not honestly held or were prejudiced. He was given a proper opportunity to comment on those views and his comments form part of the reports. In the circumstances the Tribunal disallows his application for the removal of them from his personal file."

Consideration 11

Extract:

The ad hoc reduction-in-force committee has discretion to consider a candidate well-suited for work in a particular group "on the strength of his actual qualifications and experience. In this case the committee failed to exercise such discretion and so the reduction-in-force procedure has not been duly completed. It must therefore be restarted."
