Consideration 4

Extract:

"The decision impugned puts no exact figure on the entitlements of each staff member concerned. That may be done only when individual decisions are taken, ordinarily by the President [...] on the strength of the general decision. [Under the circumstances], the complainants may not now challenge the validity of the general decision. Before filing a complaint each must await a new individual decision."
