Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 5

Extract:

"Although the complainant was not invited to address the [Review Committee on classifications], his application for review of his classification was put to it. It is therefore not open to him to allege any breach of his right to a hearing, since the right does not mean that he is entitled to be heard in person."
