Judicial review granted; Deputy Head's classification decision unreasonable for failing to justify departing from recommendations.
The applicant, a public service employee, sought judicial review of a decision by the Deputy Head of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to maintain her position's classification at the AS-05 level, rejecting the Classification Grievance Committee's recommendation to upgrade it to AS-06.
The Federal Court allowed the application, finding that the Deputy Head failed to reasonably apply the principles of classification to the knowledge and contacts factors and failed to justify departing from the Committee's recommendations.
The Court set aside the decision and remitted the matter for redetermination.
