  • Judgment 851


    63rd Session, 1987
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 10

    Extract:

    "Some differences will have to be allowed in the content and standard of engineering degrees until there is international standardisation. For an international organisation like the EPO the only fair and practical approach is to demand for an examiner's post the qualifications required for equivalent duties in the applicant's home country."

    Keywords:

    date; degree; difference; equal treatment; general principle; professional experience; reckoning; seniority; terms of appointment;



  • Judgment 845


    63rd Session, 1987
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 4

    Extract:

    "Even if an examiner appointed after 1 January 1981 had been promoted contrary to the rapid promotion rule in CA/20/80, that is no reason for unlawfully promoting the complainant. As the Tribunal stated in Judgment 614, a complainant may not rely on unlawful treatment which conferred benefit on other staff members: equality in law does not mean equality in the breach of it."

    Reference(s)

    ILOAT Judgment(s): 614

    Keywords:

    appointment; date; difference; effective date; equal treatment; exception; flaw; general principle; personal promotion; promotion;



  • Judgment 844


    63rd Session, 1987
    International Atomic Energy Agency
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 27

    Extract:

    "In reaching his decision of 11 February 1987 the Director-General failed to take an essential fact into consideration, namely the degree of the Agency's own responsibility for the lack of information supplied initially to the complainant. While the paramount consideration in making or renewing appointments is to secure employees of the highest standard, it is not the only one. The principle of good faith requires that employees be treated with due regard for their rights. If the Director-General had considered the application in the light of the organisation's own responsibility for the complainant's difficulties when his contract was not renewed, he might have reached a different decision."

    Keywords:

    contract; disregard of essential fact; duty to inform; fixed-term; general principle; good faith; non-renewal of contract; organisation's duties; post description;



  • Judgment 818


    62nd Session, 1987
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 4

    Extract:

    "What the principle [of equality] requires is that everyone in like case should be governed by the same rules and get the same treatment."

    Keywords:

    definition; equal treatment; general principle;



  • Judgment 767


    59th Session, 1986
    International Labour Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    "Precedent has it that one official may not rely on the unjust enrichment of another: equality in law does not embrace equality in the breach of it."

    Keywords:

    equal treatment; exception; flaw; general principle;



  • Judgment 754


    59th Session, 1986
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    "For the plea to succeed there must be different treatment of staff members who are in the same administrative position. Where the circumstances differ, so may the treatment provided that it is a fair, reasonable and logical outcome of the difference."

    Keywords:

    condition; equal treatment; general principle;



  • Judgment 752


    59th Session, 1986
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 4

    Extract:

    "Though [the complainant] did rely on facts of which he had been unaware at the outset, there was no new time limit on that account, the time limit in the Service Regulations being objectively determined and unqualified. Any other conclusion, even if founded on considerations of equity, would impair the stability of the parties' position in law, which is the purpose and indeed the whole point of a time limit. The only exception is where the organisation has misled the complainant or concealed some paper from him so as to do him harm, in breach of the good faith which should govern administration. But the condition is not fulfilled here."

    Keywords:

    exception; general principle; good faith; internal appeal; new fact on which the party was unable to rely in the original proceedings; new time limit; receivability of the complaint; time bar; time limit;



  • Judgment 666


    56th Session, 1985
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    "No one may plead breach of the principle of equality on the grounds that he has not received a benefit unlawfully conferred on others. [The complainant] is [...] mistaken in alleging that such breach entitles him to payment of an allowance which was wrongly paid to others."

    Keywords:

    equal treatment; exception; flaw; general principle;



  • Judgment 614


    53rd Session, 1984
    International Labour Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 7

    Extract:

    "There are three hypotheses. The first is that the complainant was treated unlawfully, and if so the Tribunal need only declare that he was and need not rule on the allegation of unequal treatment. The second is that the complainant was treated lawfully and the other staff member unlawfully. In that case the complainant may not rely on unlawful treatment which conferred benefit on the other staff member; equality in law does not mean equality in the breach of it. The third hypothesis is that both of them were treated lawfully. If there was inequality in the treatment they received it arose in circumstances which allowed the exercise of discretion and in which the Tribunal has no power of review."

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 13(B)

    Extract:

    "The principle of equality does not mean that the same rules must be uniformly applied to everyone. What it means is that like facts require like treatment in law, but different facts allow of different treatment."

    Keywords:

    equal treatment; general principle;



  • Judgment 542


    49th Session, 1982
    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    The penalty imposed was justified, but the complainant's appointment was terminated "without warning of the action that might be taken against him, although it [was] never said that the matter was urgent. The general principle of lawis that an administration may not impose a penalty on anyone before giving him an opportunity to comment on the charges against him".

    equal treatment; general principle;

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    "In accordance with Article II of its Statute, [the Tribunal] hears complaints alleging the non-observance of terms of appointment or of the Staff Regulations. In reaching its decisions it construes such texts by the accepted methods of legal interpretation. It also draws upon general principles of law insofar as they may apply to the international civil service. It takes no account of municipal law, however, except insofar as such law embodies those principles."

    46th Session, 1981
    International Labour Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 10

    Extract:

    "As a rule an official's comments on his subordinates do not give them any right to compensation; otherwise supervisors would express only guarded opinions about their subordinates, and that would be harmful to the organisation's efficiency. The most that can be said is that when a supervisor expresses an opinion which he knows to be untrue for a purely malicious purpose he, or the organisation, will be liable."
