  • Judgment 309


    38th Session, 1977
    World Health Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations

    Extract:

    The complainant's resignation, "which he gave of his own free will and without duress, was fully valid in law. It may have been given somewhat lightly, but the complainant is alone responsible and that fact does not vitiate its legal validity."

    Keywords:

    complainant; lack of consent; offer; resignation;

    Considerations

    Extract:

    It appears that "because of her attitude [the secretary] ought long before to have been compulsorily transferred [...] and the complainant [as her supervisor] behaved with great and unfailing propriety. But it cannot be said that the effect of [the secretary's] regrettable behaviour and of the [...] Director's equally regrettable inaction was either to put the complainant in a position which in practice precluded his continuing as chief of unit [...] or to impair his free will."

    Keywords:

    complainant; consequence; lack of consent; resignation; supervisor; working relations;



  • Judgment 308


    38th Session, 1977
    International Patent Institute
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    "If [...] the complainants want general and non-specific measures in the form of new rules, the claim is [...] irreceivable, since the Tribunal is competent to correct breaches of terms of appointment or provisions of the Staff Regulations, not to order the adoption of new rules."

    Keywords:

    amendment to the rules; competence of tribunal; complainant; request by a party; staff regulations and rules;



  • Judgment 295


    38th Session, 1977
    International Labour Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations

    Extract:

    "The [organisation] was willing to sign the contract with the complainant as early as 1 October [...] the postponement to 21 October was due entirely to the attitude of the complainant, who of his own accord and for personal reasons delayed coming to [headquarters] [...] the [organisation], which did its utmost to have the complainant's contract ready by 1 October, was not to blame for any delay and was not at fault. The complainant alone was responsible for postponement of the signing of his contract to 21 October and on no grounds whatever can he properly claim any compensation in respect of the period prior to his appointment."

    Keywords:

    complainant; contract; date; delay; material damages; negligence; organisation;



  • Judgment 283


    37th Session, 1976
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations

    Extract:

    "The letters which the complainant contends were not communicated to him do not constitute executive decisions which might cause him prejudice but simply interdepartmental minutes of an internal nature."

    Keywords:

    complainant; disclosure of evidence; lack of injury; request by a party;



  • Judgment 274


    36th Session, 1976
    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 22

    Extract:

    "Activities within the staff organization [...] constitute an area that is 'prima facie' outside the Director-General's jurisdiction. [...] There may be exceptional cases. [...] As a general rule a staff member gives no undertaking, express or implied, about how she will conduct herself in the business of the Staff Council or its organs."

    Keywords:

    competence; complainant; conduct; executive head; freedom of association; staff union; staff union activity;



  • Judgment 261


    35th Session, 1975
    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    The complainant claims an indemnity to cover the cost of travel expenses incurred in connection with the proceedings. "[T]he organization did not agree to pay these expenses, the expenses do not arise out of this claimant's terms of appointment and were not in the opinion of the Tribunal reasonably necessary for the presentation of his claims. This claim therefore fails on the merits."

    Keywords:

    complainant; internal appeal; internal appeals body; refund; request by a party; travel expenses;



  • Judgment 256


    34th Session, 1975
    International Labour Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    The complainant invites the Tribunal to declare that a confidential file has been compiled relating to him; he seeks to be allowed to consult the file and have it destroyed. "These claims are receivable since the complainant has an interest in ensuring that all the documents concerning him should be put in his personal file, to which he has free access under [the applicable provision]. Also receivable are the claims [asking for] a list of the documents to which he is denied access, those claims being implicitly included in his original claims for relief."

    Keywords:

    application for quashing; cause of action; claim; complainant; confidential evidence; disclosure of evidence; personal file; receivability of the complaint; request by a party;



  • Judgment 255


    34th Session, 1975
    World Health Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations

    Extract:

    The applicable provision stipulates that the evaluation given in appraisal reports shall serve as the basis for assistance extended to a staff member to improve his services and for decisions concerning that staff member's status and maintenance in the organization. It is open to question whether this provision, having regard to these objects, applies at all in the case of a staff member who has retired. If it does, there could be no relief for a breach of it except by the payment of compensation. In the present case, the complainant could not suffer injury from a statement assessing his work during the final 11 months of his service.

    Keywords:

    complainant; enforcement; lack of injury; performance report; purpose; retirement; separation from service; work appraisal;



  • Judgment 247

    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations 15, 16 and 21

    Extract:

    Having been accused of insubordination, the complainant questioned the existence of a duty of subordination. "Accordingly, the offence, if any, of the complainant was an offence against discipline and the Director-General erred in dealing with it as a matter of unsatisfactory service." The Director-General "erred in law in treating the complainant's attitude towards [another official] as unsatisfactory service."

    Keywords:

    complainant; conduct; disciplinary measure; insubordination; misconduct; unsatisfactory service;



  • Judgment 246


    33rd Session, 1974
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3(a)

    Extract:

    "The decisions to grant the complainant only fixed-term appointments did not infringe any provision of the [...] Regulations and may not be regarded as being ultra vires or as misuse of authority as indeed the complainant himself acknowledged in accepting the offers of appointment."

    Keywords:

    acceptance; complainant; contract; fixed-term; organisation's duties; successive contracts;



  • Judgment 232


    32nd Session, 1974
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations

    Extract:

    "[S]ince the complainant had let it be clearly understood that he would not attend the meeting and would be represented at it, the fact that he was not told of its exact date is immaterial to the propriety of the proceedings."

    Keywords:

    complainant; counsel; date; duty to inform; flaw; internal appeal; internal appeals body; procedural flaw; procedure before the tribunal; right to reply;



  • Judgment 230


    32nd Session, 1974
    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations

    Extract:

    "[T]he complainant was deprived of full participation both by his own negligence and by an omission on the part of the organization. It is therefore proper to meet the complainant's claims in part by ordering the organization to pay the complainant from the date of his retirement half the amount of the pension to which he would have been entitled as a full participant in the Joint Staff Pension Fund."

    Keywords:

    complainant; forfeiture of benefit; negligence; organisation; organisation's duties; participation; pension; unjspf;



  • Judgment 227


    32nd Session, 1974
    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations

    Extract:

    The complainant notified the organization of his intention to resign if he were not appointed to a suitable post. While inviting him to apply for suitable positions in the usual way, the organization said that in the absence of notification to the contrary it accepted his resignation. The complainant confirmed his resignation and thereby "deprived himself of the right to reinstatement in the organization in his former post or in any other."

    Keywords:

    acceptance; complainant; consequence; offer; organisation; resignation; separation from service;



  • Judgment 207


    30th Session, 1973
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR

    complainant; domestic law; enforcement; refusal; request by a party; tribunal;



  • Judgment 190


    28th Session, 1972
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations

    Extract:

    "[T]he offer made to the complainant by the organization of a new contract involving appointment to a P.4 post [...] at a salary substantially equivalent to his previous salary did not imply any demotion, entailing as it did the conclusion of a new contract. To avoid incurring the injury for which he has claimed compensation, the complainant could have accepted that offer, which in the circumstances of the case appeared to be a reasonable one."

    Keywords:

    amendment to the rules; complainant; contract; downgrading; fixed-term; grade; non-renewal of contract; offer; refusal; salary;



  • Judgment 173


    26th Session, 1971
    European Organization for Nuclear Research
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    "According to the experts, the complainant is consciously simulating his disability, at least for the most part. such simulation constitutes fault within the meaning of [the applicable provision] since conscious simulation constitutes fraud, the highest degree of fault. It is immaterial whether or not the complainant's conscious behaviour has become unconscious; even if the simulation is at present to some extent involuntary it results from a voluntary form of deception, i.e. fault."

    Reference(s)

    ILOAT Judgment(s): 141

    Keywords:

    complainant; invalidity; misconduct;

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    In cases where the affected persons are at fault, their disability pension may be reduced under the applicable provision. "[T]he Tribunal cannot reduce the benefits granted to the complainant in accordance with the impugned decision [...] without there being any need to examine whether the fault attributable to the complainant would in itself have warranted the cancellation of the pension awarded, it is sufficient to find that in any case, in view of the experts' report, the reduction made under the impugned decision is in no way excessive."

    Reference(s)

    ILOAT Judgment(s): 141

    Keywords:

    complainant; consequence; disability benefit; invalidity; judicial review; liability; misconduct; reduction of salary;



  • Judgment 160


    24th Session, 1970
    World Health Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 1

    Extract:

    The complainant had been on leave and then fell sick. He should have informed the registrar or have taken steps to ensure that the communication containing the memorandum in reply to his complaint was forwarded to him. "Consequently it was his own fault that he did not receive the communication [...] and did not reply within the time limit. There is therefore no reason to grant him a further time limit for his reply. Moreover, this could have been done only if it had been requested before the expiry of the original time limit. [...] The complainant's application was tardy." Since the dossier contains several memoranda by the complainant, the Tribunal can take its decision in full knowledge of the facts.

    Keywords:

    closure of written proceedings; complainant; delay; health reasons; negligence; new time limit; rejoinder; submissions;



  • Judgment 158


    24th Session, 1970
    World Health Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 4

    Extract:

    In asking the Tribunal to endorse the recommendations of the Appeals Committee, "the complainant has misunderstood the respective role of these two bodies. The Board of Inquiry and Appeal, as an advisory body, may take into account considerations of expediency, whereas the Tribunal, as a judicial organ, must confine itself to considering whether the decision impugned is in conformity with the applicable rules."

    Keywords:

    advisory body; competence; competence of tribunal; complainant; difference; enforcement; internal appeals body; recommendation; request by a party; tribunal;



  • Judgment 150


    23rd Session, 1970
    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    "In cases where the Director-General suspects an official of having committed acts of undiscipline in the performance of or in connection with his duties, he has to take action in the most adroit fashion to safeguard, if possible, the reputation of both the organization and of the official. For that reason, before initiating the disciplinary procedure, the Director-General is always free [...] to summon the official and ask him for explanations."

    Keywords:

    complainant; disciplinary procedure; executive head; inquiry; investigation; misconduct; organisation's duties; organisation's reputation; respect for dignity;



  • Judgment 149


    23rd Session, 1970

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

    Consideration 4

    Extract:

    The applicable provision "is specific that a staff member can only designate another staff member to represent him before the committee. It follows that any advice sought from some outside source must be paid for by the staff member himself."
