The outcome of the Informal Review Process will be communicated to the requester in writing. • A request for Informal Review must be made within 5 working days of notification of the decision and will normally take place between the candidate and a representative of the Courts Service who had played a key role in the administration of the selection process. • Where a candidate remains dissatisfied following any such informal discussion, he/she may adopt the formal procedures set out below. A request for Formal Review must be made within 5 working days of either the notification of the selection decision, or the notification of the outcome of the Informal Review process. Any extension of these time limits will only be granted in the most exceptional of circumstances and will be at the sole discretion of the Chief Executive. • The candidate must address his/her concerns in relation to the process in writing to the Personnel Officer of the Courts Service (via email to careers@courts.ie, or in writing to Personnel Officer, Human Resources, 15/24 Phoenix Street North, Smithfield, Dublin 7), outlining the facts that they believe show an action taken or decision reached was wrong. • The Formal Review will be conducted by a person who is completely independent of the selection process • The outcome of the Formal Review must generally be notified to the candidate within 25 working days of receipt of the request for review. If the investigation does not produce a decision within this time, the Courts Service must keep the candidate informed of the status of the review and the reasons for the delay.
