Judgment No. 141

Decision

1. An examination shall be carried out by two medical experts so as to:
(a) determine the present degree of Mr. Miele's invalidity and assess the degree of his present work disability with regard both to his former employment and to other kinds of possible employment;
(b) determine the extent to which the invalidity thus assessed may be regarded as the direct consequence of the accident suffered by the complainant on 14 July 1960;
(c) if necessary, determine the extent to which that invalidity may be regarded as the indirect consequence of the accident; and
(d) determine the nature of the disorders identifiable as the indirect consequence of the accident, and state the extent to which those disorders may be regarded as having a constitutional cause or as being attributable to factors independent of the accident, whether arising before or after it.
2. The experts shall be appointed by order of the Vice-President of the Tribunal, who shall determine the procedure for the examination and in particular, after consulting the parties, determine the final text of the questions to be put to the experts.
3. The experts shall draw up their report after consulting the dossier of the case and examining Mr. Miele. If they think fit, they may obtain the assistance on particular points and on their own responsibility of one or more specialists.
4. The Organization shall advance the costs of the expert examination and Mr. Miele's expenses in submitting himself for the examination. The amount of these advances shall be determined by order of the Vice-President of the Tribunal.
