Consideration 16
Extract:
"The procedural flaw the complainant alleges is that the EPO will fully let the appeal proceedings drag on so as to thwart his hopes of promotion. The plea fails. The EPO may not be taken to task for awaiting the Tribunal's ruling on the earlier complaint." In addition the EPO resorted to an extraordinary procedure so that his promotion could be awarded.

Consideration 2
Extract:
The complainant impugns a decision of the President approving his performance report for 1980 and 1981. Because the complainant failed to exhaust the internal means of redress by awaiting the report of the Appeals Committee and the President's final decision before filing his complaint, the complaint is irreceivable.

Consideration 6
Extract:
"The procedure relating to Mr. V.'s first report lasted from 10 September 1980 until 7 June 1983, when the President went back on his decision to approve it. that was far too long. [...] For these reasons, and also in view of his age and record, the Tribunal will award him moral damages".

Consideration 3
Extract:
"It will be right not to approve a report only if the reporting officer made an obvious mistake over some important point, if he neglected some essential fact, if he was grossly inconsistent or if he can be shown to have been prejudiced. And he need not be deemed prejudiced just because his assessment for one period is not the same as another reporting officer's opinion of the same official for an earlier or later period."

Consideration 3
Extract:
"The impugned decision to approve the complainant's report for 1980 and 1981 is a discretionary one and may be set aside only on limited grounds such as a formal or procedural flaw, a mistake of fact or of law, failure to take account of relevant facts, abuse of authority or the drawing of mistaken conclusions from the evidence."

Considerations 4-7
Extract:
At the start of 1980 and 1981 the complainant's production target was the same as the previous year; his productivity was the same in 1980 as in 1979 and higher in 1981. Under the circumstances, having attained his production target in 1980 and 1981, the complainant rightly alleges a discrepancy between the two reports. The Tribunal holds that the complainant was under no duty to increase his output of his own accord.

Summary
Extract:
The reason given for non-renewal of the complainant's contract was unsatisfactory performance. The evaluation report for 1981 was signed long after the time limit laid down in the Staff Rules. Only a few weeks elapsed between the completion of the 1981 report and the processing of the 1982 report. As a result, the impugned decision took no account of the fact that between the complainant's two last performance reports he was not given time to add his objections or to show he could come up to expectation. The decision overlooked an essential fact and drew clearly mistaken conclusions from the evidence. The complainant is entitled to damages.

Considerations
Extract:
In this case "the criticisms are carefully and moderately phrased. Whether or not they are justified, it is not suggested that they do not express the honest opinion of the reporting officer." The decision to retain the report's original wording is "within the President's discretion and moreover within an area of his discretion in which the Tribunal does not normally entertain complaints. It is essential to the value of an appraisal report that the reporter should be granted great freedom of expression."

Considerations
Extract:
"It is essential to the value of an appraisal report that the reporter should be granted great freedom of expression. Normally, if there be any errors of judgement on his part, they can be sufficiently remedied by the incorporation in the report of the staff member's point of view."

Summary
Extract:
The Tribunal holds that the criticisms in the report on the complainant suffer from no errors which could justify changing them. Reporters enjoy considerable freedom of expression, and that freedom was not in this case overstepped.

Consideration 8
Extract:
"In endorsing the adverse comments in the last report the WHO did not rely on isolated or incorrect facts or draw clearly mistaken conclusions from the evidence. [...] The Director took account only of what was revealed by the report [...] and he considered the complainant's comments thereon. His decision to terminate the appointment shows none of the defects [which could lead the Tribunal to quash it] and is sound in law."

Consideration 4
Extract:
When the complainant received the personal report, he did not add his own comments. He by-passed the largely informal discussion stage by prematurely filing a notice of appeal. "He thereby interrupted the procedure for preparation of the final text, and only that text constitutes a decision. [He] did no more than challenge a preliminary act, and his present claim to have it set aside is irreceivable."

Consideration 5(A)
Extract:
According to the Staff Regulations, decisions taken by the Director-General himself are not subject to the complaint procedure. "The performance report referred to in [the complainant's claim] was approved by the Director-General and so he accepted responsibility for it. The complainant was therefore entitled to take the view that he need not address a complaint to the Director-General before submitting [his claim] to the Tribunal. [...] Article VII(1) of the Statute constitutes no bar to a complainant who [...] rightly concluded that he was not required to follow one of the internal appeal procedures."

Consideration 7
Extract:
The complainant's present supervisors appraise his performance in terms identical or similar to those used by his earlier supervisors. There is no sign of prejudice against him. The lateness of the report is accounted for by the changes which took place. The papers which were not properly communicated to the complainant are unlikely to have been will fully concealed from him. The plea of prejudice therefore fails.
Keywords:
administrative delay; bias; performance report; work appraisal;
Consideration 8
Extract:
The complainant has been working in the organisation for 20 years. His advancements in grade have been due either to a reorganisation or to review of his duties. He has sought, in vain, a more senior post. Younger officials have reached higher grades. He has never been awarded a special salary increment. "Accordingly, life being what it is, even though he has misconstrued the reasons for the irregularities in his [performance report], he was particularly affected by them. For the moral injury he has suffered he is entitled to compensation".
Keywords:
administrative delay; flaw; injury; moral injury; performance report;
Consideration 8(A)
Extract:
"There are no grounds for supposing that if the report had been made properly the complainant would have derived financial benefit from appointment to a higher post." Since the start of his career, the complainant has entered competitions, with comparable performance reports, and been unsuccessful on every occasion. It is unlikely that he would have fared better in the most recent competition if he had properly been able to refer to the report. No material injury.

Considerations 3, 4 and 7
Extract:
The facts the complainant relies on "are intended to show that for years he has been the victim of hostility and it has affected his career, his day-to-day life at work and even his state of health. [...] There is not a shred of proof of his allegations of arbitrary and hostile treatment. In fact the appraisals of his performance are on the whole favourable [...] The complainant has failed to establish any injury due to personal prejudice on [the organisation's] part." The application for damages is rejected.

Consideration 4
Extract:
"The complainant is mistaken in objecting to the replacement of the appraisal report - none being possible in the circumstances - with a minute which was not to his detriment, which was intended to protect his interests and which indeed did so." The Director-General had noted in the minute that appraisal was not possible and he emphasised aspects in the complainant's favour; the complainant may not require the Regional Director, who was his chief only in name, to appraise his work when he never did any.
Keywords:
discontinuance; performance report; staff member's interest;
Consideration 3
Extract:
"Although there was no internal appeal, there has been no breach of Article VII[1] of the Statute of the Tribunal, which the organisation itself believes to be inapplicable to this case." The organisation pointed out that the usual internal remedies were not applicable inasmuch as there was a special procedure involving a reports board which had expressed its opinion on the case. The filing of an internal appeal would probably not have affected the outcome of the complainant's situation.

"Prima facie the complainant is entitled to have [the periodical appraisal report] for what he thinks it to be worth; a doubt thrown on its value is not a ground for denying it.
