A chief officer of a ministry or portfolio may appeal to the Civil Service Appeals Commission about a decision of the Head of the Civil Service or the Official Member, as the case may be, made under section 28, 29, 31 or 32, but must do so within thirty days of a decision being notified.
The Civil Service Appeals Commission shall rule on the appeal referred to in subsection (1) and make a recommendation to the Governor within thirty days of the appeal being lodged and its recommendation shall be based on the information provided by the appellant together with information provided by the Head of the Civil Service or Official Member, as the case may be, and any other information that the Commission considers relevant.
The Governor shall act upon the recommendation referred to in subsection (2) as he sees fit, and his decision shall be final.
Where a chief officer makes an appeal under subsection (1), the chief officer shall provide evidence to the Civil Service Appeals Commission to show that the Head of the Civil Service or Official Member, as the case may be, has acted in an unfair or biased manner, or in a manner which is inconsistent with the requirements of section 28, 29, 31 or 32.
