Judgment No. 20
Decision
THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.
Consideration on the substance (C)
Extract:
"The decision taken by the Director-General [...] was preceded by a referral to the Board of Inquiry and Appeal competent to advise [him] ; [...] the opinion given by the said Board in no way binds the Director-General and even if the Board had the right to modify certain time limits no complaints can be laid against the Board for not having exercised such option; [...] it was for the Director-General to appreciate whether the opinion as formulated sufficed as a basis for his decision."
