Judgment No. 588
Decision
THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED
Consideration 8
Extract:
"In endorsing the adverse comments in the last report the WHO did not rely on isolated or incorrect facts or draw clearly mistaken conclusions from the evidence. [...] The Director took account only of what was revealed by the report [...] and he considered the complainant's comments thereon. His decision to terminate the appointment shows none of the defects [which could lead the Tribunal to quash it] and is sound in law."
Keywords

Consideration 2
Extract:
"Because the rule that the internal means of redress must be exhausted, the complainant incurs the risk of a time bar if no definite time limits are set for filing the internal appeal. But where a complainant, in strict observance of the time limits, has done his utmost to secure a decision and the appeals body has nevertheless failed to report, it is only just to allow an exception to the rule."
Keywords
failure to answer claim; receivability of the complaint; internal remedies exhausted; exception
