Promotion and consideration by the competent body

At a glance

Identify the post, eligibility and actual decision about consideration. Eligibility, a vacancy and an enforceable promotion claim are not necessarily the same question.

Law and context

Public promotion is governed by applicable rules, selection procedures and constitutional requirements. Qualification, service record, seniority or merit criteria and the relevant date can affect the assessment.

Practical next step

Preserve the governing rules, eligibility documents, vacancy or consideration record lawfully available and the communicated decision. Ask counsel to identify the precise procedural or legal issue.
