  • Judgment 1189


    73rd Session, 1992
    International Labour Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 9

    Extract:

    "The principle of equal treatment applies only where staff in the same position both in law and in fact are shown not to have been treated alike."

    Keywords:

    equal treatment; general principle; identical facts;



  • Judgment 1158


    72nd Session, 1992
    United Nations Industrial Development Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations 6, 8 and 9

    Extract:

    "The material issue is [...] whether the organization might, in mid-competition and while assessing the candidates, alter the requirements it had itself already declared for the post. [...] If it decides to hold a competition, "it must abide by the conditions it has itself set for the competition: patere legem quam ipse fecisti. [...] The application of that principle means that the conditions of entry for a competition may not properly be altered once the process of selection is under way. But "UNIDO failed to abide by its own requirements. [...] An essential condition for the competition was waived during [the] evaluation, and such waiver impaired the fairness and lawfulness of the process of selection. For that reason alone, the impugned decision must [...] be set aside".

    competition; condition; criteria; due process; general principle; organisation's duties; patere legem; procedure before the tribunal;



  • Judgment 1130


    71st Session, 1991
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    "The rule against retroactivity, though a general principle of law, is not absolute. One qualification is, as indeed the complainants acknowledge, that the retroactive decision will be admissible in law where the effect of it is favourable to the staff member it applies to. Another qualification is that the rule will not hold where the retroactive decision supersedes an earlier one which, at the time at which it was taken, was merely provisional and so was to hold good only until replaced by a final decision."

    Keywords:

    exception; general principle; non-retroactivity; provisional decision;



  • Judgment 1125


    71st Session, 1991
    Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 8

    Extract:

    "A construction which an international organisation wilfully and consistently puts on a rule for years may become a binding element of personnel policy to be applied to everyone who is in the same position in law and in fact. That flows from the general principles that an organisation must show good faith and frame personnel policy in objective terms. Yet it may alter a construction it was not required to follow provided that it does not thereby offend against any of its written rules."

    Keywords:

    amendment to the rules; binding character; general principle; good faith; interpretation; practice; staff regulations and rules;



  • Judgment 1123


    71st Session, 1991
    European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 13

    Extract:

    The Tribunal points out that, as it said in Judgment 986, it has only a limited power of review in respect of salary policy. It will declare whether the impugned decisions square with general principles, with the Staff Regulations and with the terms of the complainants' appointment. Those principles, which include that of trust, were complied with in the instant case.

    European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 9

    Extract:

    "Though the Tribunal's main task is to enforce the written rules in disputes between organisation and staff member, clear and consistent precedent makes dealings between the two sides subject, not just to the material provisions of the staff regulations and the contract of employment, but also to a set of general principles that form part of the law of the international civil service."

    International Criminal Police Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 8

    Extract:

    69th Session, 1990
    International Criminal Police Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 13

    Extract:

    "Since the Tribunal may not review the policy decision to move to Lyon the only effect it can give to the doctrine of acquired rights as recognised by Interpol is to determine whether the arrangements for carrying out the move were properly objective. Since the transfer did disrupt the lives of its staff, the organization had a duty to ensure that there was no undue or pointless detriment to their interests. The consequences of the change which the transfer brought in the conditions of their employment are to be gauged against cardinal principles such as equality of treatment, good faith and the rule against retroactivity".

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations 21-22

    Extract:

    A decision "will be reviewed in the context of fact and law that obtained when it was taken, else there would be breach of the general rule against retroactivity that is binding on any administrative authority and court of law.

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    "Any authority is bound by the rules it has itself issued until it amends or repeals them.

    Extract:

    "An EPO staff member who alleges non-observance of the terms of his appointment or of the applicable Staff Rules and Regulations has the right to submit an internal appeal and, if still dissatisfied, to appeal ultimately to the Tribunal.

  • Judgment 860


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

    Summary

    Extract:

    As to identity in the cause of action, Mr [A.] notes that the Tribunal had in part rejected the complainants' plea of breach of good faith on the grounds that they had taken up duty after the new criteria had taken effect. Mr [A.] contends that this reasoning does not apply to him insofar as he had taken up duty before the change in rules. The Tribunal acknowledges that there is on this point a new cause of action; however it holds on the merits that a staff member has no right, save in exceptional cases, to demand that the rules on promotion in force at the time of appointment should never be modified.
