dissenting opinion

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."

Consideration 29

Extract:

The organization carried out a review of the salary scales for general-service staff on the basis of an overall survey of local employment conditions. The complainants object to the new scales. "Whether the list of local employers makes a reasonable cross- section of economic sectors and whether the fund and the world bank are too closely linked to be taken separately are matters of appreciation that must ultimately be decided by the Director in the exercise of his discretion."

Consideration 9

Extract:

"The purpose of time limits is to make for the stability in law that both sides require. Management has an interest in knowing that the decisions it takes are beyond challenge; and the staff too need to know, especially when administrative action is taken at successive stages from the general to the particular, just when they may act without fear of having their suit rejected as premature or time-barred."
