• Judgment 4804

  
  137th Session, 2024
  European Patent Organisation
  Extracts: EN, FR
  Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
  Summary: The complainant impugns the decision to reject his appeal seeking, in the main, moral damages for breach of confidentiality and defamation.

  Consideration 3

  Extract:

  [T]he Tribunal holds that […] the statement regarding a pending case lodged by the complainant was presented in a neutral way, with no negative comments. It was not a defamatory statement warranting relief, because it was truthful and did not tarnish the reputation of the complainant (see Judgment 4478, consideration 6).

  Consideration 10

  Extract:

  [I]t is well established in the Tribunal’s case law that international organisations are bound to refrain from any type of conduct that may harm the dignity or reputation of their staff members (see, for example, Judgment 3613, consideration 46) and that the general principle of good faith and the concomitant duty of care require them to treat their staff with due consideration in order to avoid causing them undue injury (see, for example, Judgment 3861, consideration 9).

• Judgment 4215

  
  129th Session, 2020
  Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail
  Extracts: EN, FR
  Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
  Summary: The complainant challenges the decision not to confirm his appointment at the end of his probation period.

  Consideration 23

  Extract:

  As far as moral injury is concerned, the Tribunal considers that the non-confirmation of the complainant’s appointment also caused him substantial harm in this respect, particularly inasmuch as it was liable to damage his professional reputation.
  It might be observed in this regard that the Organisation itself attempted to limit that harm by endeavouring, as stated above, not to cite the complainant’s unsatisfactory performance as the official basis for the decision and by sending to his national civil service, at the same time, an appraisal that passed over the criticism of his performance. However, besides the fact that the Tribunal plainly cannot condone such questionable actions, it is highly doubtful that they actually minimised the harm to the complainant’s professional reputation.
  Moreover, the abruptness with which the complainant’s appointment was ended, forcing him to leave his duties almost immediately after he was notified of the impugned decision, inevitably caused him distress.
