An example is given to show that a class of finite soluble groups that is both a Fitting class and a Schunck class need not be a formation. The novel feature of this class is that it is defined by imposing conditions on complemented chief factors of groups in it: this technique usually does not give rise to Fitting classes that are not formations.
