Consideration 1
Extract:
The complainant contends that his supervisor failed to discuss his conclusions with him as required by the applicable provision. "Non-compliance with these requirements does not however ipso facto invalidate a report. In the present case it is clear from the facts in the dossier that discussion would have served no useful purpose."

Consideration 2
Extract:
"[W]hether the superior is in error or not, there is nothing in the dossier to show that the criticism does not express his honest opinion. For the Tribunal to interfere in the case of an appraisal report what must be shown is not a preconceived opinion in the mind of the maker of the report but a wrongful motivation."
