Consideration 3
Extract:
It must be recalled that the rules governing the receivability of complaints filed with the Tribunal are established exclusively by its own Statute. In particular, the possibility of filing a complaint against an implied rejection is governed solely by the provisions of Article VII, paragraph 3, of the Statute, which states that an official may file such a complaint “[w]here the Administration fails to take a decision upon any claim of an official within sixty days from the notification of the claim to it”. However, firm precedent has it that when an organisation forwards a claim before the expiry of the prescribed period of sixty days to the competent advisory appeal body, this step in itself constitutes “a decision upon [the] claim” within the meaning of these provisions, which forestalls an implied rejection which could be referred to the Tribunal (see, on these points, Judgments 532, 762, 786, 2681 or 3034).
