  • Judgment 3819


    124th Session, 2017
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant has filed an application for review of Judgment 3714.

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    In his submissions the complainant rightly recalls that, according to the Tribunal’s case law, an application for review of one of its judgments may, exceptionally, be allowed, but only on limited grounds. Indeed, the only admissible grounds for review are a failure to take account of particular facts, a mistaken finding of fact involving no exercise of judgement, omission to rule on a claim and, lastly, the discovery of a new fact that the complainant was unable to invoke in time in the original proceedings (see Judgment 3333, under 4, and the case law cited therein).

  • Judgment 3817


    124th Session, 2017
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant has filed an application for review of Judgment 3623.

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    Article VI of the Statute of the Tribunal states that judgments are final and without appeal, but that the Tribunal can nonetheless consider applications for review. Consistent precedent has it that they carry res judicata authority and may be reviewed only in exceptional circumstances and on strictly limited grounds. “The only admissible grounds therefor are failure to take account of material facts, a material error, in other words a mistaken finding of fact involving no exercise of judgement which thus differs from misinterpretation of the facts, an omission to rule on a claim, or the discovery of new facts which the [complainant] was unable to rely on in the original proceedings. Moreover, these pleas must be likely to have a bearing on the outcome of the case. On the other hand, pleas of a mistake of law, failure to admit evidence, misinterpretation of the facts or omission to rule on a plea afford no grounds for review” (see Judgment 3719, under 4, and the case law cited therein).

    124th Session, 2017
    European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant has filed an application for review of Judgment 3571.

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    As the basis for his application for review, the complainant contends that the Tribunal omitted to rule on the “subsidiary argument” supporting his request for conversion of his limited-term appointment. In so doing, he alleges that the Tribunal omitted to rule on a plea. However, [...] that is not an admissible ground for review in any event.

  • Judgment 3815


    124th Session, 2017
    World Trade Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant has filed an application for review of Judgment 3486.

    Consideration 4

    Extract:

    Consistent precedent has it that, pursuant to Article VI of its Statute, the Tribunal’s judgments are “final and without appeal” and have res judicata authority. They may therefore be reviewed only in exceptional circumstances and on strictly limited grounds. As stated, for example, in Judgments 1178, 1507, 2059, 2158 and 2736, the only admissible grounds for review are failure to take account of material facts, a material error involving no exercise of judgement, an omission to rule on a claim, or the discovery of new facts which the complainant was unable to rely on in the original proceedings. Moreover, these pleas must be likely to have a bearing on the outcome of the case. Pleas of a mistake of law, failure to admit evidence, misinterpretation of the facts or omission to rule on a plea, on the other hand, afford no grounds for review (see, for example, Judgments 3001, under 2, 3452, under 2, and 3473, under 3).

    116th Session, 2014
    United Nations Industrial Development Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant impugns the decision to extend her fixed-term contract for a period of one year instead of three years on the basis of an adverse evaluation report.

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    "It is necessary to make clear that the Tribunal’s role is not to adjudicate on the question of whether assessments made in appraisal reports are correct or whether discretionary decisions to employ a staff member on a fixed-term contract for one or three years are correct. Discretionary decisions of these types, involving assessment and evaluation, are entrusted to the responsible officers of the international organisations within the Tribunal’s jurisdiction. These types of decisions can only be set aside if they involve some breach of a formal or procedural rule, there is a mistake of fact or law or some material has been overlooked, or a plainly mistaken conclusion has been drawn from the facts, or if there is a misuse of authority (see, for example, Judgment 3006, consideration 7)."

    International Atomic Energy Agency
    Extracts: EN, FR

    Summary: The Tribunal dismissed the application for review of Judgment 2946, as there was no new fact giving rise to review.

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    "[A]s provided in Article VI of the Statute, the Tribunal’s judgments are final. Accordingly, they are subject to the application of the principle of res judicata and will only be reviewed in exceptional circumstances and on limited grounds. That is, “failure to take account of particular facts, a mistaken finding of fact that involves no exercise of judgment, omission to rule on a claim and the discovery of some new facts which the complainant was unable to invoke in time in the [earlier] proceedings” (see Judgment 1952, under 3)."

    Extract:

    Application for review of Judgment 2854.
    "The grounds on which the Tribunal may review a judgment are set out in Judgment 442, under 3, as follows: 'an omission to take account of particular facts; a material error, i.e. a mistaken finding of fact which, unlike a mistake in appraisal of the facts, involves no exercise of judgment; an omission to pass judgment on a claim; and the discovery of a so called 'new' fact, i.e. a fact which the complainant discovered too late to cite in the original proceedings.' The ground on which review is sought must be one that would have led to a different result in the earlier proceedings."

    Consideration 9

    Extract:

    "The Tribunal will review an earlier judgment on the basis of discovery of a 'new' fact, but only if it was 'discovered too late to [be] cite[d] in the original proceedings' (see Judgment 442, under 3 and 13). However, the question whether a fact is 'new' is always whether it could, with diligence, have been discovered at the time of the earlier proceedings."

    Considerations 4-5

    Extract:

    Application for review of Judgment 2786.
    "It is well established that the Tribunal's judgments may be reviewed only in exceptional circumstances and on the grounds of 'failure to take account of particular facts, a mistaken finding of fact that involves no exercise of judgment, omission to rule on a claim and the discovery of some new facts which the complainant was unable to invoke in time in the [earlier] proceedings' (see Judgment 1952, under 3).
    Although the complainant frames his request for review in terms of a failure to take into account certain facts, he refers to no facts that were overlooked by the Tribunal. In effect, the request is based on his disagreement with the outcome. It follows that the application must be dismissed in accordance with the summary procedure provided for in Article 7 of the Rules of the Tribunal."

    Extract:

    "The Tribunal's judgments have the authority of res judicata. They will be reviewed only in exceptional circumstances and on limited grounds. These grounds include the discovery of a new fact. A new fact is a fact on which the party claiming it was unable to rely through no fault of its own; it must be a material fact likely to have a bearing on the outcome of the case (see Judgments 748, under 3, 1294, under 2, 1504, under 8 and 2270, under 2)."

    Extract:

    "As is clear from Judgment 442, a Tribunal judgment is res judicata and will only be reviewed in exceptional circumstances including, for example, omission to take account of a fact or the discovery of a 'new' fact. Of course, even in such cases, review will not be granted if the fact in question does not bear on the judgment given. In other words, a fact must be a 'material fact' before the Tribunal will review a judgment on the ground of discovery of a new fact or on the ground that a fact has been overlooked."

    Consideration 6(a)

    Extract:

    The Tribunal had dismissed the complaint by which the complainant impugned the non-renewal of his appointment. In his application for review of that judgment, he submits that a post intended for him had been mentioned in the draft programme and budget and that, since the document had been approved as it stood by the General Conference, this implied his appointment to the post at issue. "The question arises as to whether such an argument affords grounds for review. It is not necessary to answer that question, considering that the fact does not appear to be decisive, since the adoption of a budget could [...] not be interpreted as a decision to make an appointment."

    Considerations 3-4

    Extract:

    "Consistent precedent has it that the Tribunal's judgments are final and without appeal and that they carry the authority of res judicata. It is only in quite exceptional circumstances that an application for review, although not provided for in the Statute, can be allowed: the only grounds which may be entertained are failure to take account of particular facts, a mistaken finding of fact that involves no exercise of judgment, omission to rule on a claim and the discovery of some new facts which the complainant was unable to invoke in time in the proceedings which led to the judgment which the complainant is seeking to reverse. The application for review should also be filed within a reasonable time and the pleas put forward should be of such a nature as to affect the original ruling. [...] In the present case, the Tribunal finds that none of the grounds exist for challenging the ruling already made[: the] application for review was only filed more than one year after the adoption of the judgment that she is challenging [...] The complainant now merely calls into question the conclusions reached by the Tribunal. [A] form, which she says constitutes a new fact, had already been sent to her counsel [...] during the internal appeals procedure. [Finally, the plea] that she was not assisted effectively by her former counsel [...] does not warrant review of the Tribunal's judgment."

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    "The Tribunal's judgments are final and binding. They are not subject to appeal. The Tribunal will not entertain applications for revision or review except in the most unusual circumstances such as fraud or the discovery of conclusive new evidence which could not have been brought forward before. The stability of judicial procedures and the need to bring an end to litigation require that parties must accept the result they obtain even when they are unsatisfied with it. Where both parties have had a full opportunity to present their case and where no new and previously undiscoverable factual element is brought forward the principle of res judicata prevents the reopening and rearguing of cases already decided."
