Decision

THE TRIBUNAL QUASHES
1. THE DECISION TO PUT IN THE COMPLAINANT'S PERSONAL FILE HIS OWN MINUTE OF 9 FEBRUARY 1990 AND THE PRINCIPAL DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION'S LETTER OF 6 MARCH 1990; AND
2. THE PRESIDENT'S CONFIRMATORY DECISION OF 21 DECEMBER 1990.

Consideration 10

Extract:

The complainant is challenging the inclusion in his personal file of correspondence which he submits has no place there. The Tribunal holds that "the make-up of the file is subject to formal rules calculated to guard against the filing throughout the staff member's career of documents about his conduct which have not been drawn up with due regard to elementary safeguards of his rights."
