Consideration 2
Extract:
The responsible officers carried out an on-the-spot investigation and concluded that the decision not to renew the complainant's contract was correct. "There is no reason to believe that these experienced officers would not be able to assess, quite dispassionately and accurately, the work performance of the complainant or that their advice was not fair and unprejudiced."

Summary
Extract:
Following a recommendation by the Appeals Committee, the Director-General ordered a desk audit on the qualifications for the complainant's duties. The results were submitted to the committee responsible for post classifications, which advised that the post should not be reclassified. Determining the grade of a post is a matter falling within the discretion of the administration. Its conclusions can only be set aside on certain grounds, none of which have been established by the complainant in respect of the impugned decision.

Consideration 9
Extract:
"The extent of the duties and the nature of the responsibilities attached to a post are questions of fact. These facts were the subject of investigation and assessment [...] after interviews with the complainant and after consultation with the regional administration and the technical staff at headquarters. The Tribunal will not substitute its own assessment or direct that a new assessment be made unless it is shown that the [organisation] acted on some wrong principle."

Article 19 of the Rules of court "empowers the President to make such orders only in the interval between sessions. Thus when in session the Tribunal itself will order measures of investigation in accordance with Article 11(1) of its Rules."

Consideration 2
Extract:
"In accordance with a general principle, the findings in reports of this nature should not be disclosed and, unless they are necessary to judicial redress, the Tribunal abstains from ordering the production of them." At issue is the report of an internal inquiry into staff-management relations in connection with the termination of a probationer's contract.

Consideration 4
Extract:
Under Article VIII of its Statute the Tribunal is entitled to award the complainant compensation for the injury caused to him. "For this purpose the Tribunal may under Article 11 of its Rules order such measures of investigation as it considers desirable. But it will not order an investigation merely for the sake of ascertaining the facts; the investigation must be in aid of some relief, such as reinstatement or compensation, which it is within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal to grant."

Consideration 6
Extract:
"An incident of this sort between a P.6 officer and a regional director does not just explain itself [...]. It was essential for the Director-General to ascertain what explanation or excuse the complainant had to give. It cannot be said that it would inevitably have been unacceptable, since the [Appeals] Board, which characterised the complainant's conduct as 'not proper', none the less recommended that the reprimand should be withdrawn."

Consideration 6
Extract:
The Director-General stated that he would inquire into the truth of the alleged assurances given to the complainant. "That was a conciliatory gesture, and it meant neither the continuation of her earlier appeal nor the introduction of a new one. [...] Since the action he intended was informal, [the Director-General] was under no duty to give the complainant an opportunity to comment on the outcome. That she was not allowed to give evidence in the course of the inquiry therefore constituted no breach of the right to a hearing."

Consideration 1
Extract:
"If there is doubt about the safety of a place of work, it is the duty of the employer to make the necessary inquiries and to arrive at a reasonable and careful judgement [...]. If [the employee] accepts the order, as prima facie he is bound to do, and the employer has failed to exercise due skill and care in arriving at his judgment, the employee is, subject to any contrary provision in the contract, entitled to be indemnified in full against the consequences of the misjudgment."

Considerations
Extract:
The Committee carried out a complete review of the complainant's case and thereby did what the Director-General asked it to do; it was empowered to dismiss as pointless or immaterial the complainant's applications for an inquiry and for the hearing of witnesses; its report answers all the arguments and adequately bears out its conclusions. There is no evidence of any procedural flaw.

Considerations
Extract:
The complainant's appointment was not renewed on the grounds of unsatisfactory performance and poor relations with her supervisor. Her previous supervisors had been consistently satisfied and the record contains no serious criticisms. "[T]he regional administration failed in particular to carry out a thorough and impartial inquiry, which would have been possible shortly after the incidents in question, and merely endorsed the report made by [the supervisor], whose impartiality was in dispute. [...] The decision [...] was not based on the interests of the Office"; the Tribunal will set it aside.

Considerations
Extract:
It appears from the evidence that the "sole purpose [of the decision not to renew the complainant's contract upon his reaching retirement age] was to remove [him]." Certain irregularities could be observed in his service, but no serious inquiry was made nor any disciplinary proceedings undertaken. "[T]he decision [...] was based on mere suspicions unsupported by the slightest evidence, and is therefore tainted by misuse of authority and must be quashed."

Consideration 2
Extract:
The complainant had been admitted to hospital suffering from a nervous breakdown. "The Director-General did not [...] exceed his discretion in failing to inquire into the working conditions prevailing at the complainant's place of employment. Whether or not the complainant's criticisms are justified, the fact remains that he reacted to the alleged difficulties in an abnormal manner which gave plausibility to the possibility of a relapse and appeared to justify his termination under" the applicable provision.

Considerations
Extract:
The complainant, who was dismissed without inquiry on the basis of unsupported allegations, is entitled to "a sum in respect of the disturbance of his living conditions and family life which the [Director-General] unlawfully caused him and in respect of the moral injury which he suffered on account of the unjust charges brought against him. Considering that he obtained equivalent employment fairly soon, the injury will be fairly assessed by awarding compensation amounting to 15,000 French francs."
Keywords:
amount; contract; fixed-term; injury; inquiry; investigation; lack of evidence; material damages; moral injury; termination of employment;
Considerations
Extract:
No real inquiry was made. The allegations against complainant were improbable. "The Tribunal can only find that the facts leading to the imposition of the sanction are in no way proved and decide that the impugned decision should be quashed. There is no reason to order the complainant's reinstatement, which in any case he does not claim; his entitlement to compensation for the injury suffered by him should, however, be considered.
Keywords:
damages; evidence; injury; inquiry; investigation; lack of evidence;
Considerations
Extract:
"Th[e] charge [of attempted theft] was brought by the shop manager [...] eleven days after the incident to which it related. [The complainant] immediately denied the charges and gave a totally different and at first sight not improbable version of the incident. The Personnel Officer of the Regional Office, appointed by the Regional Director to make an inquiry, merely heard the statements of the shop manager who had brought the charges, and of three of his employees, only one of whom had apparently witnessed the alleged attempted theft."

Consideration 2
Extract:
"Informed of the uncertainty of his position, [the complainant] could not reasonably interpret the absence of a decision before the normal termination of the probation period to mean that the organization [...] implicitly agreed to keep him in its employment. On the contrary, he must have known that the Director-General would await the results of the investigation which had been ordered before reaching a decision, that is, that the probation period was tacitly extended for as long as a formal decision still remained to be taken."

Consideration 3
Extract:
"The investigation [...] aimed at identifying the persons responsible for breaking the rules of the organization [...] was necessarily followed by the sanctions provided for in those rules. The investigation was therefore entrusted to the agents of the organization itself rather than to the authorities of the State in which the complainant was employed. The rules of the organization itself alone were applicable, and not any national legislation." [The case involves participation in the traffic of foreign currency.]
Keywords:
applicable law; disciplinary measure; domestic law; enforcement; inquiry; investigation; misconduct; staff regulations and rules;
Consideration 2
Extract:
The Regional Director "was [...] entitled to suspend the complainant and to with hold payment of his salary for the duration of his suspension. The charge that he had engaged in traffic in foreign currency for reward constitutes serious misconduct, since any act by which an official takes advantage of his official status for personal profit falls within the definition contained in [the applicable provision]. [...] The misconduct of which the complainant was accused was such as to deprive him of the confidence of his chiefs, so that his continuance in office was liable to be prejudicial to the organization."

"There is no evidence to indicate that the officials by whom the complainant alleges that he was victimised acted in a spirit of animosity or in order to protect their own interests. On the contrary, the fact that the investigation was carried out by several officials excludes any suspicion of bias."
