Verdict Overruled In Ministry Of Defense Employee Case

Administrative Circuit at the Court of Appeals overturned the verdict of First Instance Court that rejected the application to nullify annual evaluation of a Ministry of Defense employee who was rated ‘weak’ in 2014.

The appellate court thereby dismissed the previous ruling and associated effects. Lawyer Ali Al-Ali representing the plaintiff affirmed that his client was employed by the ministry in 2000 and he climbed the promotion ladder to become Head of Duties Department. He used to be evaluated ‘excellent’ each year, because as a role model of dedication. He was surprised when the Assistant Director of Administration rated him ‘weak’ due to misunderstanding between them. His client submitted a petition against the decision but he didn’t get any response for a redress. He pointed out that the concerned assistant director wasn’t the direct authority supervising his client and that his direct supervisor was not even aware of the decision, indicating it was fraught with ambiguity and illegality.
