Case Summaries & Reasons for Decision

The ADFG Office maintains an online database of past reasons for decision and reports made by the Academic Appeals Committee, the University Tribunal (trial division), and the Discipline Appeals Board. Those found here are from 2000 onwards and are searchable.

You can search these reasons for decisions and reports using keywords and phrases in order to identify those that are relevant to your current matter. Knowing how a decision-making body has dealt with a matter in the past may be of assistance when preparing for a hearing.

The ADFG Office also maintains online databases of summaries of decisions and reports made by the Academic Appeals Committee, the University Tribunal (trial division), and the Discipline Appeals Board. These summaries provide a quick overview of the key issues that a decision-making body dealt with in a particular case, but they will not necessarily capture everything in a decision or report. When doing a search, each summary will appear separate from the reasons for decision or report, but the summary is also linked to the corresponding full decision or report at the bottom of the specific summary.

In all cases, it is the reasons for decision or report that will be searched in the database, and not the summary.
