# 2016-133 Careers, Initial counselling, Remedial measures

Case summary

F&R Date: 2016-11-14

The Committee found that the initial counselling (IC) issued to the grievor was justified, based on the evidence on file of his conduct deficiency.

FA decision summary

The Director Canadian Forces Grievance Authority agreed with the Committee's findings and recommendation to partially uphold the grievance. The grievor's right to procedural fairness were breached. The IC was considered null and void and removed from his file. The breaches were corrected by a de novo review, and the Director Canadian Forces Grievance Authority determined that the grievor's actions warranted an IC. Therefore, the Director Canadian Forces Grievance Authority directed that the IC be replaced by another he had rewritten.
