  • Judgment 1311


    76th Session, 1994
    European Southern Observatory
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 8

    Extract:

    "The hallmark of 'basic salary' is that it takes the form of regular and uniform payments to local staff by virtue of their status as such, according to prescribed scales and at set dates. The 'special allowances' are distinguishable by being due only in particular circumstances that are usually peculiar to each staff member".

    Keywords:

    allowance; base salary; definition; scale; social benefits;

    Considerations 9-10

    Extract:

    "In determining the amount of basic salary [...] as against the special allowances what counts is sums actually paid in salary, whatever they may be called and whatever method of accounting may be applied." The Tribunal holds that what the ESO regards as "special allowances" form part of "the basic salary that counts in reckoning the service indemnity where [it is] a regular additional item of pay."

    Consideration 38

    Extract:

    "The complainants claim damages for breach of their basic rights, which the Tribunal has acknowledged. All that need be said is that payment of damages is not a proper means of giving them satisfaction on a matter of principle of that kind."

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 15

    Extract:

    "The procedural flaw caused the complainant injury. As to the relief she is entitled to on that account, the Tribunal holds that it is not advisable to grant her the redress that would ordinarily be the consequence of quashing the impugned decision, namely reinstatement. The Tribunal therefore exercises the discretion vested in it by Article VIII of its Statute and instead awards the complainant damages for the breach of procedure. It sets the amount at the equivalent of one year's salary and allowances."

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    The Tribunal orders the complainant's reinstatement. The organization "must do its utmost to reinstate him in the post which he held [...] or in any comparable one acceptable to him. Only if that proved impossible should it pay him additional damages equivalent to the salary, allowances and other entitlements which he would have received over a period of two years had he been reinstated in its employ as from the date of this judgment."

    Extract:

    "As was held in Judgment 1166, under 2, unpaid associates come under 'non-established members of the personnel' by virtue of [CERN Staff] Rule I 2.01. Being an unpaid associate the complainant was not entitled to unemployment benefit, which CERN grants only to 'established members of the personnel'."

    74th Session, 1993
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 11

    Extract:

    The complainant objects to UNESCO's holding up her dismissal indemnity and to the slowness of the compensation procedure, for which she claims damages. "The evidence does reveal unfortunate delay and remarkable dilatoriness in settling the case. But the organization may not be held liable for any particular negligence warranting an award of special damages under this head. The delay in sorting out the various issues of the case was due to a combination of several factors: procedural complications, the changing nature of the complainant's health, her living far from headquarters, and the need - for her own sake too - for many medical inquiries."

    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    The complainant, a civil servant of the organization who had been sentenced in his country of origin, was released from prison but was not allowed to leave the country. Under duress he wrote a letter applying for early retirement which was forwarded to the organization by his government. The organization accepted the request and rejected the complainant's internal appeal against that decision. The Tribunal quashes the decision. "The organization must reinstate [the complainant] and restore pension and sickness insurance entitlements for himself and his dependants. It shall pay him damages reckoned according to the amount of the salary and allowances he would have been entitled to".

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    The complainants were refused the grant of a promotion. The impugned decisions are set aside and the complainants sent back to CERN for proper determination of their entitlement to promotion. They are claiming awards of damages. But "they fail to show any particular injury. If they get promotion, that, and the financial consequences, will afford them sufficient redress. If they are not promoted they will not have suffered any injury unless the new decisions are again unlawful. For the time being there is no actual injury and they have no right to compensation."

  • Judgment 1142


    72nd Session, 1992
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 10

    Extract:

    One of the organisation's reasons for refusing the complainant's claim to dependants' allowance for his parents was that they resided in the Netherlands - his duty station - and lived in a flat that belonged to him. Since his mother owned a flat in Rome, the income she could have had from letting that flat had to be taken into account. The Tribunal holds that his "parents are resident, not in the Netherlands, but in Rome. The fact that when visiting the Netherlands, and for whatever length of time, they live in the flat belonging to him is immaterial and affords no grounds for letting his mother's flat in Rome. [...] The organisation's mistake on that score appears to have been a main factor in the President's decision".

  • Judgment 1073


    70th Session, 1991
    International Atomic Energy Agency
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Summary

    Extract:

    The complainant was denied a dependency entitlement for 1989 because his wife's income did not meet the conditions laid down in Provisional Staff Rule 5.03.2(d) as it read at the material time. Loss of the entitlement brought the complainant's combined family income below the maximum limit. As from 1 January 1990 the Agency's practice was amended so as to limit the loss of such entitlement to the same amount by which the spouse's income runs over the income limit. Inasmuch as the new rule does not prescribe retroactive change, the complainant has no grounds on which to claim it.

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations 3-4

    Extract:

    [A]n application for interpretation is receivable only if the operative part of the judgment is ambiguous or otherwise unclear. The present application is about the meaning of the term "rates" and therefore qualifies under the rule as stated in that judgment. [...]
    The only meaning the term "rates" in point 2 can bear is "rate of salary" and "rate of allowances". Nowhere in the judgment is there any allusion to a "rate of exchange", and the clear intent is that the complainant should receive by way of damages for material injury a lump sum to be calculated by reference to the salary and allowances he was entitled to at the date of separation.

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations 3-4, Summary

    Extract:

    The complainant, a member of the EPO staff, challenges the lawfulness of deductions made from his allowances following strike action. Relying on Article 65(1)(b) of the Service Regulations he says that "remuneration" in that provision covers basic salary alone. But Article 64(2) says that "remuneration shall comprise basic salary and, where appropriate, any allowances"; the plea fails.

    Keywords:

    allowance; base salary; deduction; definition; right to strike; salary; strike;

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    The complainant submits that, in keeping with epo practice, the deduction for work stoppage should have been limited to basic salary. "In making deductions from pay in 1983 on account of a strike in 1982, [the EPO did] leave untouched the dependants' expatriation and housing allowances. But the precedent does not hold good: in dealing with the matter again in October 1985 the organisation refrained from deciding on the deductions it would make from staff pay in the event of future strikes."

    Extract:

    "By virtue of Judgment 996 the complainant is entitled to reinstatement with full arrears of salary and allowances. The benefits he would have been entitled to but for dismissal included home leave for himself and his family [...]. Should [his family] choose to travel at another time the cost of their home leave will be due to him by virtue of Judgment 996."

    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 20

    Extract:

    "None of the interveners is barred by any lapse of time from claiming entitlement to the non-resident's allowance and to the other benefits. [...] Acquiescence is not a valid plea open to the organization and a woman staff member may at any time object to discriminatory treatment."

    allowance; continuing breach; equal treatment; intervention; non-resident allowance; receivability of the complaint; sex discrimination; time bar;

    Consideration 12

    Extract:

    "Since the rule was unlawful it could never become lawful by lapse of time or by acquiescence and a claim could therefore never be barred. Even though a claim to actual payment of the non-resident's allowance cannot succeed in these proceedings because of the complainant's failure to follow the proper internal procedure, the question of her entitlement to the allowance must be considered because of its bearing on the matter of the recurrent benefits."

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 9

    Extract:

    Before the complainant's divorce during a period of trial separation, the organization discontinued payment of her family allowance and lowered the rate of her non-resident allowance. The Tribunal holds that "the temporary separation of the spouses prior to the decree of divorce, though authorised by a court order, was neither a 'legal' separation nor a 'similar legal situation' within the meaning of R IV 1.13 [of the Staff Rules and Regulations]. The trial separation is a preliminary to divorce required by law. It is limited in time and revocable. It has no effect on the marital status of the spouses, who may use it as they will. It is not in the same category as legal separation, which is a permanent solution." Since the organization made a mistake of law, the Director-General's decision must be set aside.

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Summary

    Extract:

    The complainants seek payment of the education allowance to which they were entitled at the IPI. The Tribunal holds that on the basis of the transfer agreement between the IPI and the EPO the latter is not under obligation to pay the education allowance insofar as the organisation offsets the education costs borne by its officials. The Tribunal exempts the case where actual costs are not offset.

    Keywords:

    allowance; compensatory measure; consequence; discontinuance; education expenses; merger; refund;

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    "As the Tribunal has consistently held, an allowance may form an essential part of the official's contract in that he considered it to be of decisive importance when he accepted employment, and its abolition would therefore constitute breach of an acquired right; but he has no acquired right to the actual amount of the allowance or to continuance of any particular method of reckoning it. Indeed he must expect these to change as circumstances change."

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    The complainants contend that the organisation had been in continuous breach of its obligations by failing to safeguard their enjoyment of entitlements they had before a specific date. They therefore allege that the organization acted unlawfully since that date. "The impugned decision therefore recurred right up to the date of the internal appeal, and that appeal was in time. The internal means of redress must be deemed to have been exhausted even though the Board did not go into the merits."
