Legal Principle(s)

In cases of reclassification of post, the Tribunal cannot substitute its own assessment or direct a new assessment unless certain grounds are established. Consistent precedent has it that the Tribunal will not interfere with the decision unless it was taken without authority or shows some procedural or formal flaw or a mistake of fact or of law, or overlooks some material fact, or is an abuse of authority, or draws a clearly mistaken conclusion from the facts
