Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 3

Extract:

"The distinction between the reckoning for starting step and the reckoning for promotion is plain from the actual wording of the rules. The distinction warrants different treatment, and there is no breach of the principle of equality where the treatment is a fair, reasonable and logical outcome of circumstantial differences."
