Judgment No. 179

Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 2

Extract:

"The mere fact that one member of the Advisory Board was the son-in-law of the wife of a staff member serving in the same division as the complainant at a higher grade is not sufficient to constitute a ground for withdrawal. There is no direct relationship either by blood or by marriage between the member and the official concerned, and the latter [...] cannot [...] be regarded as his supervisor in the proper sense of the term." He was not required to withdraw.
