Consideration 3

Extract:

The Tribunal’s judgments carry the authority of res judicata 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, for example, Judgments 3001, under 2, 3452, under 2, 3473, under 3, and 3634, under 4).

Consideration 4

Extract:

In his application for review, the complainant simply disagrees with the Tribunal’s appraisal of the evidence and its interpretation of the law. The complainant’s argument [...] demonstrates that the present application for review does not raise any of the above grounds for review and that it is in fact merely an attempt to re-open issues already settled in Judgment 3851.
