Considerations
Extract:
"Under the Staff Regulations the complainant had the right to appeal against the Regional Director's decision to a board [...] of appeal, which he did not exercise." He has therefore not exhausted the means of resisting the decision as were open to him. "The complainant does not provide any answer to this objection and it is clear that no proceedings were taken before the board. The complaint is therefore irreceivable."

Considerations

Consideration 5
Extract:
The complainant addressed himself to the Director of Personnel who informed him that no procedure existed for an appeal by a person not belonging to the staff of the organization. The complainant subsequently brought the matter to the attention of the Director-General who said that the organization considered his appeal to be irreceivable because he was not a staff member. The complainant concluded that this was a final decision and that he had exhausted his means of appeal. He informed the organization that he intended to file a complaint with the Tribunal. The organization did not reply. The organization thus led the complainant to believe that an appeal would be pointless and the organization cannot now be heard to object that it was not made.

Considerations 4-5
Extract:
The complainant, after supplying details of his loss and damage, received an indemnity. The amount being small, he requested "if it was possible to re-examine the case. No reply was made to this letter and [...] the complainant [then] filed his complaint with the Tribunal. He did not lodge a complaint with the Director-General and he does not state any decision by the Director-General from which he is appealing. [...] The complaint is therefore time-barred and as such irreceivable."

Consideration 2
Extract:
"Article VII, paragraph 1, of the Statute of the Tribunal provides that a complaint shall not be receivable unless the internal means of redress have been exhausted. The right to submit a claim to an advisory body is regarded as an internal means of redress." In the present case, any decision taken by the administration and challenged by a staff member had to be referred within thirty days to the Advisory Board. "The complainant did not at any time appeal to that board and thereby failed to have recourse to internal means of redress at his disposal."

Consideration 1
Extract:
The organisation maintains that the internal appeal was time-barred and therefore irreceivable. "According to Article VII, paragraph 1, of its Statute [the Tribunal] is required to consider merely whether the internal means of redress have been exhausted - in this case whether the Director-General's" original decision led to a recommendation by the Appeals Committee. That condition is undoubtedly fulfilled, and the complaint is therefore receivable."

Extract:
"According to Article VII, paragraph 1, of the Statute of the Tribunal a complaint is receivable only if the complainant has exhausted all means of redress available to him under the staff regulations, i.e. the internal means of redress. Hence [...] staff members [of the defendant organisation] may lodge a complaint with the Tribunal only if within a period of three months they have submitted an appeal to the [competent] authority [...] as provided for [in the regulations]. Moreover, the complainant's claims for relief are receivable only if they fall within the scope of that appeal."

"In view of the explanations which it contains, and in particular the reference to a circular subsequent to the notification [contested by complainant], the reply [by the organisation] is not a mere confirmation of that notification.

"[T]he complainant impugns an alleged decision by the Director-General, that is to say an administrative decision which may be referred to the Appeals Board.

Considerations
Extract:
The contracts concluded were replaced by a new contract effective retroactively. The organization argues that the situation in question resulted from an earlier contract which was not challenged. "[H]aving replaced one contract with another the organization is implicitly estopped from arguing that the original contract was not contested in time. Hence, insofar as that contract is relevant, the organization cannot properly rely on the non-observance of the rules on internal means of redress."

Considerations 2-3
Extract:
Under the material provision, a staff member may with the consent of the Director-General waive the jurisdiction of the internal body and appeal directly to the Administrative Tribunal. "[T]he Director-General's authorization of such waiver is a derogation from the normal procedure prescribed by the Staff Regulations and can properly be allowed only in exceptional cases which the Director-General himself shall determine. The Administrative Tribunal is not competent to waive the requirement that the complainant should first appeal to [the internal body]."

Considerations
Extract:
The complainant appealed to the Director against the decision to terminate his appointment. "He thus complied with the rule that an official must make a complaint to the Director of the organisation before filing a complaint with the Tribunal." The Director had the option under the Staff Regulations of referring the complaint to the internal body, but chose to reply to it.

Considerations
Extract:
"If [the complainant] intends to impugn the refusal to give him a new appointment which he alleges in his complaint had been promised to him, he is not impugning any decision embodying such a refusal, and in any event he ought not to have addressed himself directly to the Tribunal before submitting an appeal to the [internal] appeals body [...] The fact that he was received by the Secretary-General [...] cannot be regarded as an alternative to such an appeal."

Considerations
Extract:
The complainant made no appeal within the time limit against the decision to confirm his transfer. "That decision has thus become final." He did impugn another decision in time which had no connection with the first decision, but that will not extend the period within which an appeal may be lodged against the first decision.

In asking the Tribunal to rule on the question of reclassification before two successive decisions had been obtained from the Director-General, one on the recommendation of the Consultative Committee on Classification and the other on the recommendation of the appeals body, "the complainant has failed to observe the rule requiring that all internal remedies should have been exhausted."

Considerations
Extract:
The complainant inquired whether a refusal decision was final. the absence of a reply from the administration must be considered, by virtue of a general rule of law, as a refusal of the claim. The complainant ought to have followed the procedure prescribed in the Staff Rules to secure "a decision by the Director-General, which decision could alone be impugned before the Administrative Tribunal." [The procedure provides for appeal at the regional level and subsequently at headquarters.]
Keywords:

Considerations
Extract:
The regional administration failed to reply because it made a reply conditional on a matter unrelated to the request. "The position thus taken up by the administration misled [the complainant] and prevented him from following the procedure laid down [in the Staff Rules]. There is all the more reason for taking account of his error inasmuch as the [...] Rules do not mention the general rule of law [...] whereby the silence of the administration after a certain period is equivalent to rejection of a claim."

Considerations
Extract:
Article VII, paragraph 3, of the Statute of the Tribunal must be read in conjunction with paragraph 1 of the same article. "[T]he provision can apply only if a complainant has exhausted all internal means of resisting the decision open to him, and if he is impugning either an explicit decision or the implicit decision resulting from the failure of the Director-General of the organization, the final competent authority, to give a ruling on his claim."

Considerations
Extract:
"According to Article VII of the Statute of the Tribunal, a complaint submitted to the Tribunal shall not be receivable unless a final decision is impugned, the person concerned having exhausted such other means of resisting as are open to him under the applicable Staff Regulations."

Keywords:
absence of final decision; internal remedies exhausted; receivability of the complaint;
Considerations
Extract:
The complaint is not directed against any decision taken by the Director-General. The complainant impugns a decision of 11 March; in fact no administrative authority of the organization took any decision on that date concerning the complainant; 11 March is the date on which he appealed to the internal appeals body. The complaint is therefore irreceivable.
