The Court held that a rehearing and decision rendered by a final authority in a Canadian Forces grievance did not rectify the error committed by the initial authority and therefore the grievor was denied procedural fairness. The applicant was severely injured while driving to activate her Family Care Plan which she had been requested to prepare by the Canadian Forces. She applied for disability benefits which were denied by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The applicant filed a grievance which was referred to the Director General, Personnel and Family Support in error. The applicant then chose to have the matter referred to the final authority which upheld the dismissal. The Court held that the decision was not fully informed, and that the board failed to consider all the appropriate circumstances and precedents in reaching its decision.
