Judgment No. 67
Decision
THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.
Summary
Extract:
The complainant was recruited for a conference; her contract stipulated that she would not be considered as a member of the staff. Following a serious accident which she suffered whilst in the service of the organization, she requested that the latter pay her the amount of the indemnity offered to her in compensation for her permanent incapacity, under the individual insurance policy. The Tribunal considers the complainant as a purely casual employee and that it lacks jurisdiction.

Consideration 3
Extract:
"The Tribunal recognises that as a result of holding that it lacks jurisdiction, the complainant is thereby regrettably deprived of any means of judicial redress against the injury sustained as a result of the alleged violations of her contract; but the Tribunal, being a court of limited jurisdiction, is bound to apply the mandatory provisions governing its competence."
