爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
In the matter of non-selection, it is evident that the Applicant was required to take a test but did not. The Applicant did not explain why she failed to take the test in any terms which show that the Administration must take responsibility for this failure. 爆料网DT held that the Applicant must take responsibility for this failure and therefore can blame no-one other than herself for the non-selection. 爆料网DT dismissed this aspect of the Application. 爆料网DT held that the finding that there was insufficient evidence to pursue the matter of sexual harassment tantamounts to abuse abuse of authority on the part of the Respondent. 爆料网DT ordered the Respondent to provide the Applicant with a clear explanation for the decision not to pursue the allegation of sexual harassment in one month. 爆料网DT dismissed the claim for moral damages as the required evidence needed to support the imposition of other remedies sought by the Applicant was not provided.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
The Applicant contested decisions she described as: “(a) continued harassment, unfair treatment and abuse of authority that cannot be classified as one single decision; (b) breach of several rules and regulations; (c) not being considered and bypassed for promotion on several occasions resting with a decision made on 22 January 2019; (d) not being compensated for work performed at a higher level; and (e) failure to address a claim for sexual harassment and abuse.”
Legal Principle(s)
The seriousness of a charge, such as sexual harassment, requires that the Administration at the very least show that there was a process involved in which the Applicant was properly informed and able to comment to correct perceptions of fact or interpretations of staff rules.
