Consideration 6

Extract:

"The complainant was informed that he could contest the decision to reject his compensation claim in one of two ways; either by requesting that a Medical Board be convened in accordance with paragraph 25(b) of Annex II of the Staff Regulations if he contested the decision on medical grounds, or by bringing an appeal to the JAAB if he contested the decision on any other grounds (such as procedural grounds). He chose not to appeal to either, instead bringing the case directly before the Tribunal. The complainant is mistaken in his understanding of the competence of the JAAB and that the decision not to convene a Medical Board is an issue of procedure, and could have been analysed by the JAAB. Staff Regulation 13.2.1 provides that special procedures apply for compensation claims."
