The man, referred to as Mr X, sought reinstatement of his position in his personal grievance case against the Department of Corrections. In December 2013, Ms Y's relationship with Mr X ended after she discovered him and in bed with Ms Z. During 2014, Mr X's relationship with Ms Z became difficult, and later that year, she wanted to end it. Mr Appleton said Mr X's argument that he had only about 50 Facebook friends was ''either disingenuous or naive''. Mr X's personal grievance claim was dismissed.
