"In Relations to versus In Relation to"

Hello out there readers!

There is a term that is bothering me while I review reports. A colleague continues to write "in relations to" in sentences. (For example: In relations to the discussions that occurred yesterday, a follow-up is needed with the committee.)

Based on my training, there is no "s" next to relation and I only would use, "In relation to".

Could you please help confirm what is the appropriate grammar here. Thanks!

My first thought was "You are right and your colleague is wrong". Just to be sure I've consulted several online dictionaries and they all list only "in relation to".
