| Decision |
The case revolves around the interpretation of adverse remarks made in the performance reports of a civil servant. The tribunal found that the remarks, which suggested the individual needed 'tight control specially in Account matters' and should work more comfortably in a team, were not adverse but advisory in nature. As such, the tribunal ruled that these remarks should not be treated as adverse, leading to the acceptance of the appeal from the civil servant. The decision emphasized the need for better supervision and control rather than punitive measures against the civil servant. |
