Consideration 4
Extract:
The letter in question took note of the complainant's application and confined itself to reminding him that, before the discussions embarked upon could reach a definite conclusion, he should send his personal history. "The firm offer of a contract was therefore made subject to the receipt of this personal history, which was required in order to enable the organization to determine finally whether to make such an offer." The actual wording of the letter clearly implied that no contractual relationship yet existed and that no promise of a contract had been made.

Consideration 5
Extract:
"It results from an examination of the correspondence exchanged between the organization and the complainant that no legal relationship whatsoever was ever established between [the complainant and the organization]; that consequently, the complainant cannot be considered as an official of the organization in the sense of [...] Article II, paragraph 6, [of the Statute of the Tribunal]; and that, therefore, his complaint is not receivable."
