Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 13

Extract:

"According to consistent precedent promotion is at the discretion of the organisation, which must be free to grant or withhold it in accordance with objective working requirements. It follows that any grant of promotion at the time of retirement is inherently contrary to the organisation's interests because by then there can no longer be any question of taking on the higher level of responsibility that promotion entails."
