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 and the Discipline Appeals Board. Those found here, are from 2000 onwards, and are searchable.

You can search these 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 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 will not necessarily capture everything in a decision. When doing a search, each summary will appear separate from the reasons for decision or report, but is also linked to the corresponding full decision or report at the top 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.
