Question juridique clé
Whether the dismissal of the employee’s service relationship was lawful despite the criminal acquittal
Solution extraite
The dismissal could be upheld because the administrative authorities could rely on the file and retain the view that the employee had engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct toward several co-workers and at least one asylum seeker.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court held that the criminal acquittal did not bind the employment authorities. The record, including corroborating statements from several colleagues, was sufficient to support the dismissal decision.
