# 2021-267 Careers, Remedial measures, Reversion in rank

Case summary

F&R Date: 2022-12-22

The grievor argued that the recorded warning (RW) that he received was not administered in accordance with the Defence Administrative Orders and Directives 5019-4, Remedial Measures, and that his subsequent rank reversion and removal from his position were unjustified. As redress, he requested that the RW be quashed and that he be reinstated to his former rank.

The Initial Authority (IA) found that the grievor had suffered breaches of procedural fairness in the RW and in the rank reversion. The IA quashed the RW in its entirety and directed that the grievor be considered for another similar position.

The Committee found that the RW was not justified because it was not supported by reliable evidence. The Committee also found that the rank reversion and removal from position were based on the RW and, consequently, were also unjustified.

The Committee recommended that the Final Authority quash the RW and reinstate the grievor to his former rank and position.
