Can I appeal a staffing complaint decision?

Staffing complaint decisions of the Board are final and may not be appealed. They may however, be subject to judicial review by the Federal Court of Appeal on limited grounds. Applications for judicial review must be filed in accordance with the procedures and timeframes set out in the Federal Courts Act and the Federal Courts Rules. As a matter of general practice, the AJC does not usually apply for judicial review of staffing complaint decisions.
