# 2018-116 Careers, Counselling and Probation, Remedial measures

Case summary

F&R Date: 2020-02-20

The grievor argued that the counselling and probation (C&P) remedial measure he was issued was unjustified, and that his chain of command (CoC) was biased against him, resulting in procedural unfairness. As redress, he sought the withdrawal of the C&P from his records.

The Initial Authority, the Commander of the Canadian Defence Academy, found that the C&P was justified and that there were no breaches of procedural fairness, although there were a few minor administrative errors that were corrected through the grievance process.

The Committee found that the grievor failed to make the case that his C&P was the unfair result of any bias towards him by the CoC. The Committee also found that the grievor received procedural fairness. Finally, the Committee concluded that the grievor had demonstrated a conduct deficiency and that the C&P was appropriate to address that deficiency. The Committee recommended that redress not be afforded.
