Consideration 5
Extract:
"The complainant seeks an order cancelling his resignation, which the organisation accepted. [...] This claim is irreceivable because he has failed to avail himself of the internal means of redress provided under [...] the service regulations and so to satisfy the condition of receivability laid down in Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute."

Extract:
The complainant submits that the Union failed to execute in full an earlier judgment in which the Tribunal gave him satisfaction. The UPU says that he failed to exhaust the internal means of appeal. The Tribunal holds that his application for interpretation "is receivable because the parties disagree on how to combine [two points of the ruling in the material judgment], only the Tribunal itself may resolve the issue, and there was no need to follow any internal appeal procedure beforehand".

"The Registrar's manifold responsibilities, which go far beyond the ambit of Article 7(4) [*] of the Rules of Court, include the general task of maintaining relations between the Tribunal and the parties and the just as important task of ensuring proper compilation of records on cases lodged with the Tribunal. In performing those tasks the Registrar is empowered ex officio to take any action he deems fit to safeguard due process."

In the light of article 7(4) [*] of the Rules on the procedure for correcting a complaint, the Tribunal holds that "since those who fall within the Tribunal's jurisdiction live far and wide and are free to plead their own case, it is the Registrar's particular duty to see that complaints filed with the Tribunal are correctly presented and to offer a complainant such comment or advice as he thinks proper for the correction of the papers."

Considerations 18-19
Extract:
The complainant is unable to provide any proof of the date on which he says he filed his complaint with the Tribunal. "The Tribunal observes that its Rules of Court are liberal in that for the purpose of reckoning the time limit Article 6(3) [*] takes the date of dispatch and thereby relieves the complainant of liability for any faulty transmittal after dispatch. "That makes it the more important to establish the date of dispatch beyond doubt in each case. [...] The complainant has failed to adduce any evidence of the dispatch of his complaint. [...] Although the Tribunal does not question the sincerity of the complainant [...] it cannot treat [his] assertions as if they were objective evidence: if it did so it would be affording an opportunity for fraudulent evasion of time limits."

Consideration 5
Extract:
The parties differ as to which decision set off the time limit for internal appeal. The complainant relies on negotiations which took place following an initial decision of the Secretary-General's. Those negotiations, intended to reach a settlement, ended in a second decision of the Secretary-General's to refuse to negotiate any further. The Tribunal holds that the complainant's "further action [...] and any proposals that may have been made to him did not cause the organization at any time to go back on the final decision which it had taken [...] [the subsequent decision] did no more than confirm the earlier one and set off no new time limit for appeal."

The complainant submits but the organisation denies that he had the status of an ESO official. "The fact of the matter is that [a private company] employed him on its own behalf, not as an agent of the ESO. Since he is wrong in contending that the ESO was his employer the Tribunal is not competent to entertain his complaint, and it must fail."

Consideration 8
Extract:
The complainant is objecting to a decision to put in her personal file several performance appraisals which she alleges were drawn up in breach of the established procedure and contained "libellous comments". The ILO says that she refused to submit any comments of her own on the reports and thereby prevented the review procedure from moving ahead. "The requirement that a complainant go through any internal procedure is not just a formality. [...] By refusing to [make] comments on the draft reports she is challenging the complainant failed to avail herself of the means at her disposal to have the reports withdrawn or altered. Her complaint is therefore irreceivable under Article VII(1) of the Statute."

Considerations 14-15
Extract:
Under PAHO Staff Rule 1230.7.1 no-one may appeal to the Board of Appeal until "all the existing administrative channels have been tried". The complainants advised the administration that they intended to appeal to the Board as soon as they had the assurance that they had exhausted the internal remedies. "The defendant was therefore not free in good faith to treat the complainants' internal appeals to the Board as being out of time by taking a date that made it impossible for them to satisfy the prior condition set in Rule 1230.7.1."

Considerations 2-3
Extract:
The organization contends that one of [the complainant's] claims is irreceivable for failure to exhaust the internal means of redress. It observes that neither did he make a written protest on that score or an appeal to the Appeals Board. The claim was not even mentioned in the cause of the original proceedings which led to an earlier judgment of the Tribunal on a case also brought by the complainant. He does not deny that he made no internal appeal but merely asserts that it was discriminatory and unlawful not to grant him satisfaction. "So his complaint is indisputably irreceivable under this head."

Consideration 6
Extract:
The complainant wants the Tribunal to order the removal of a mention in his file after he turned down the offer of a post which allegedly puts an "obstacle" on his name to get jobs from the organization. The organization contends that it has not had any contractual ties with the complainant since a short contract it gave him some time ago, and it points out that his present claims have no bearing on that contract. "The Tribunal's competence is restricted under Article II(5) of its Statute to hearing complaints alleging the non-observance, in substance or in form, of the terms of appointment of an official or of provisions of the organisation's Staff Regulations. The complaint fails because the Tribunal lacks competence to entertain it."

Considerations 3-4
Extract:
The complainant objects to the non-renewal of his contract. The organization says his complaint is irreceivable. It does not deny that he sent a memorandum challenging the decision but argues that his internal appeal was not properly presented since he did not submit it to the Director-General himself. "That objection fails because the memorandum was correctly addressed to the Director of the Bureau of personnel, whom he asked to convey to the administration his decision to appeal. So it was incumbent on the Director to forward it to the Director-General."

EMBL submits that only if the complainant withdraws a suit she filed with a national court will her complaint be receivable and that only the withdrawal of that suit will show that she acknowledges the Tribunal's competence. "The Tribunal is competent to entertain her claims under paragraphs 5 and 6 of Article II of its Statute; she has observed the time limits; and her complaint is receivable. It is for the [national] labour court [...] to rule on its own competence."
