Judgment No. 480

Decision

1. Under paragraph 3 the sum of US$50,000, instead of US$112,707, should be deducted as representing possible earnings from other employment.
2. Under paragraph 5 above the Organization shall pay to the complainant US$10,000 in respect of legal expenses.
3. The claim for diminution of pension shall be settled in accordance with paragraph 4 above.

Consideration 3

Extract:

"As the Tribunal has said [...] in Judgment No. 431, the compensation generally awarded [upon non-renewal of contract] is less than the remuneration which the complainant would have received had he been reinstated. This is because he is not necessarily deprived of all means of livelihood."

Consideration 2

Extract:

"The complainant has not provided any satisfactory evidence that his salary would have increased if he had remained in the organization. It would no longer have increased by annual increments, since he had already reached the top level of his grade. His emoluments were expressed in United States dollars and there is no evidence of possible adjustments for cost of living." No such amounts will therefore be included in the reckoning of compensation.

Consideration 4

Extract:

The Tribunal regards "the true measure of the complainant's loss" as the amount of the pension to which he is entitled. "If the parties cannot agree upon this actuarial calculation or upon an actuary whose calculation they would accept, the matter must come back to the Tribunal, which, acting under Article 11 of the Rules of Court, will appoint an expert to fix the sum."
