Promotion appeals
60 Promotion appeals
An officer (the appellant) may appeal to the Secretary against the decision to appoint another officer to a vacant senior position for which the appellant has unsuccessfully applied.
Any such appeal must be made no later than 10 days after the day on which the appellant is notified (orally or in writing) of the decision concerned.
An appeal may only be made on the ground that the whole or any part of the selection process for the position was irregular or improper.
After considering the appeal and such other information as the Secretary considers appropriate, the Secretary may—
allow or disallow the appeal, and
make such determination with respect to the appeal as the Secretary thinks fit.
The decision of the Secretary under subsection (4) is final.
