Considerations 7-8
Extract:
[T]he CDE refused to pay the sums specifically corresponding to social security contributions because, in its opinion, that would breach the terms of its Headquarters Agreement with Belgium. The Centre contends that, as regards staff members who in this matter are covered by the "Belgian system", which is the case of all the complainants, under article 20 of the Headquarters Agreement it is bound to "apply Belgian social security legislation", which requires such contributions to be paid by the NSSO. The CDE therefore paid the amounts corresponding to the contributions in question to the NSSO, as a document in the file establishes. However, the Tribunal finds that in so doing, the CDE breached its duty to execute Judgment 3238 in full.

Considerations 25 and 27
Extract:
The Tribunal considers that in the particular circumstances the WTO had a duty of care towards the complainant that went beyond the mere statement that he had not established that his illness was responsible for his behaviour. That duty required the WTO to seek further medical advice concerning the complainant's medical condition that would have assisted it to have made a more informed assessment of a causal connection and consequential decision in the matter. This assessment should also have been weighed in determining proportionality. Having not done so, the impugned decision was unlawful [.] [...] [T]he impugned decision must be set aside to the extent that it found that summary dismissal was a proportionate sanction. The matter will be remitted to the WTO for reconsideration.

Full Judgment Text: EN,

Summary: The complainant, whose letter of resignation has not been formally accepted, challenges the decision of the Executive Director of the IOOC requiring him, inter alia, to vacate his office.
Consideration 4
Extract:
When a complaint is filed against an implied decision of rejection, the Tribunal may either rule on the merits of the case brought to it, or remit the case to the organisation. The former solution would be tantamount to unduly depriving the complainant of his right to an internal appeal, which is an additional safeguard to that which judicial protection offers the staff members of international organisations which have recognised the Tribunal's jurisdiction ( see in particular Judgments 2781, under 15, and 3067, under 20 ). The Tribunal will not therefore rule on the merits and the case will be remitted to the IOOC, which must submit the appeal that has not been considered to its competent bodies.

Considerations 17-22
Extract:
"[C]ontrary to what the CDE appears to believe, it cannot legitimately cite the need to submit its every expense to its Executive Board for approval to exonerate it from its duty to execute the judgment in question promptly. International organisations that have recognised the Tribunal’s jurisdiction are bound to take whatever action a judgment may require and, in particular, should the Tribunal order payment of a sum of money, to effect this payment without delay (see, inter alia, Judgment 82, under 5, and aforementioned Judgment 3152, under 11). It would be a serious breach of the CDE’s obligations if the execution of such an order were rendered contingent on the Executive Board’s approval, with the inevitable corollary that, should the Board refuse, the CDE would consider itself released from the obligation under which it is placed, or if the execution of the order were simply delayed pending a meeting of the Board, even if the Board’s approval were merely a formality. However, the Tribunal notes that the CDE’s lack of celerity has not had any practical implications for the complainant. In fact, the conduct of the complainant, who, as mentioned above, refused to submit certain information and documents that were necessary for payment of the sum owed to her, in any case prevented the judgment from being executed more rapidly. Furthermore, it is clear from the file that the CDE has already endeavoured to pay the greater part of the award against it, despite its major financial difficulties. In these conditions, and considering the parties’ shared responsibility, explained above, for the errors in the interpretation of Judgment 3239 from which this dispute arises, the Tribunal finds there is no reason to award the amounts claimed by the complainant by way of interest for delay, compensation for moral injury and costs. In the circumstances of the case, neither is it appropriate to order that the obligation to execute the judgment in question be accompanied by a penalty for default. The complainant will be required to provide to the CDE without delay, as the CDE rightly requests, the information and supporting documents necessary to determine her entitlement to dependent child allowances, education allowances and coverage of home leave expenses."

Summary: The complainant challenges the EPO’s decision to reject his requests for childcare allowances.
Consideration 12
Extract:
It is not for the Tribunal to decide whether a particular facility should be recognised for the purpose of the childcare allowance in the Regulations. Accordingly, the matter will be remitted to the EPO for a reconsideration of the complainant's claims for the childcare allowance. Before taking a decision on the complainant's requests, the criteria or framework against which his requests will be considered shall be communicated to the complainant and [he] shall be given a reasonable opportunity to submit evidence in support of his requests.

Considerations 7-9
Extract:
[I]t should be recalled that, for a letter addressed to an organization to constitute an appeal, it is sufficient that the person concerned clearly expresses therein his or her intention to contest the decision adversely affecting her or him and that the request thus formulated can be granted in some meaningful way (see Judgments 3068, under 16, and 3127, under 8, and the case law cited therein). Whileit is true that the applicable provisions in this case required that the request for review be substantited, the complainant, who clearly indicated the grounds for her challenge, did in fact meet that obligation. The foregoing considerations lead the Tribunal to find that the impugned decision was unlawful and to note that the complainant has, in this case, been unlawfully denied the benefit of her right to an internal appeal, a safeguard which international civil servants enjoy in addition to their right of appeal to a judicial authority (on this point, see for example Judgments 2781, under 15, and 3068, under 20). The Tribunal will therefore remit the case to WIPO in order that the Director General take a decision on the merits of the complainant's request for review pursuant to Staff Rule 11.1.1.
