Consideration 15

Extract:

That PSM/HRM was acting on behalf of the Director-General with his authority in making decisions about the reassignment of the complainant to Vienna, is confirmed by the terms of the review decision of 19 December 2011 in which the Director of PSM/HRM, in maintaining the decision of 5 September 2011, said that the complainant was being informed of the review decision “on behalf of the Director-General”. Formulations to this effect have been treated by the Tribunal as sufficient evidence of delegation of power (see, for example, Judgment 1577, consideration 3), particularly when taken together with the presumption of regularity (see Judgment 2915, considerations 14 and 24).
