Consideration 8
Extract:
The Tribunal considers that the impugned decision was in favour of the complainant, since it confirmed the Regional Director’s order to initiate two procedures as requested by the complainant. Accordingly, the complainant had to await the outcome of those procedures and, if not satisfied, he had to appeal internally, in accordance with the Organization’s rules, against the decisions which concluded those procedures. In light of the above, he did not have a cause of action to challenge the impugned decision.

Consideration 9
Extract:
The claims against the decisions concerning the abolition of the complainant’s post and his separation from service, which occurred [...] after the complainant had filed his appeal before the RBA [...], are irreceivable as they do not challenge final decisions within the meaning of Article VII, paragraph 1, of the Tribunal’s Statute.
