Judgment No. 738
Decision
THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED AS IRRECEIVABLE.
Summary
Extract:
At the end of a correspondence with the office of the Director-General, the complainant wrote that he would assume that no appeal lay against the Director-General's decision, unless the organisation informed him that this was not the case. The Tribunal holds that as the holder of a Ph.D. in law and head of finance and legal affairs, the complainant should know that the Director-General has no power to absolve an official from his obligation to exhaust the means of redress open to him.
