Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Considerations

Extract:

"The Tribunal will not consider whether it is [...] open to the complainant to complain directly to the Tribunal of prejudice resulting from her staff activities. Assuming that it is open and assuming also that the complainant is right in her contention that the burden of proof is upon the organization to show that her non-selection was not due to her staff activities, that burden has been discharged. she was not selected because she was not qualified."
