Consideration 3
Extract:
Although the complaints raise different legal and factual issues, the complainant's grievances with respect to her employment status and the transfer of another official to the post for which she had applied were considered together by the Joint Advisory Appeals Board which issued a single report in respect of both matters. Thereafter, the Director-General issued a single decision covering both issues. In these circumstances, it is convenient that the complaints be joined.
