Notification of appeal

After an appeal has been received the CSAB Secretariat will inform the Department/Agency in writing which is accompanied with a background information form (CSAB97.4). The completed CSAB97.4 form and a copy of the dismissal letter should be returned to the Secretariat as soon as possible.

At the same time the appellant will be asked to provide his/her statement of case explaining why, in their view, the dismissal was unfair and also complete a similar form. Once this form has been received the CSAB will make a check of the eligibility of the appellant to appeal to the Board. If the appellant is found to be ineligible this decision will then be notified to the Department/Agency and the appellant as soon as possible.
