# 2019-177 Careers, Administrative Resolution of Grievance, Sexual Misconduct

Case summary

F&R Date: 2020-01-22

The grievor, a Commanding Officer, made a comment to a subordinate which was interpreted as sexual, although he maintained that he intended another meaning; she made a complaint of sexual harassment. The grievor contested the Canadian Armed Forces's handling of the case. The Committee found that the harassment complaint had successfully been resolved through Alternative Dispute Resolution and the Chain of command had made errors in handling the matter, and recommended that measures taken against the grievor be quashed or reviewed.
