Summary
Extract:
On 7 July 1987 Eurocontrol's Permanent Commission decided provisionally to reduce pay by 0.7 per cent with effect from 1 July 1986. The Commission's decision was not confirmed until 12 November 1987. The complainants are challenging the pay slips they got for July, August and September 1987 which indicated a reduction in pay backdated to 1 July 1986. The Tribunal holds that the pay slips, which were issued before the commission's decision entered into force, have no basis in law and must be set aside insofar as they cause the complainants injury.

Consideration 5
Extract:
The complainant's internal appeal against termination after the extension of his probation is time-barred. He argues "that an unregistered letter from someone other than the Director-General cannot constitute proper notice of dismissal or of extension of probation. [The] plea fails [...]. Provided that the staff member is given official notice of a decision the time limit starts to run and there is no need for special procedural formalities. And the absence of the Director-General's signature can have no effect on the time limit for appeal even though it may in some circumstances warrant setting the decision aside."

Consideration 7
Extract:
"As the Tribunal held in Judgment 647, provided a communication takes the form of a decision, its lawfulness is immaterial for the purpose of lodging an appeal." In the circumstances of the case the complainant's internal appeal against a decision requiring him to take home leave before a specified date was time-barred. The complaint is irreceivable.

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. That precept does, however, allow of limited qualification [...] A decision taken after the one impugned may, if more favourable, repeal it with retroactive effect".

"The President was not bound to endorse the Appeals Committee's opinion. Article 109(1) of the [EPO] Service Regulations says merely that 'the authority concerned shall take a decision having regard to this opinion'. The President's duty is to consider the opinion before reaching his decision, not to follow it."

Summary
Extract:
The complainants received notification in their pay slips of a 0.7 per cent reduction in the refundable amount of education expenses which they had incurred. The organisation contends that the pay slips merely confirmed earlier decisions, viz. a general decision of 7 July 1987. The Tribunal holds that the impugned decisions were individual ones that cause the complainants injury, and not confirmations of earlier decisions.

Consideration 5
Extract:
The complainants challenge Eurocontrol's decision to reduce the amount of education expenses to be refunded to them insofar as it applied retroactively. Though the Director General's decisions are the only ones the Tribunal may quash and those under challenge did not have retroactive effect, "a staff member may challenge in an individual appeal the lawfulness of any decision of the [Permanent] Commission's that affords the basis in law for a decision by the appointing authority if he believes the latter decision to be at odds - as indeed here the decisions are - with a rule or principle that governs the international civil service."

Consideration 5
Extract:
The organisation argues that the complainant's internal appeal against the application of the amended scale of pensionable remuneration was time-barred. The plea fails. The Tribunal holds that "although [the complainant] must have known for over two years that amending the scale would have consequences when she left she could not know what the financial consequences would be."

Consideration 3
Extract:
"The notice [...] that prompted her internal appeal cannot in itself afford grounds for a complaint to the Tribunal since it merely showed the amount of the benefit she would get according to the option she preferred, and that amount is determined by the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund. if, as the ILO maintains, that is how the notice is to be construed, the Tribunal may not review the lawfulness of the decision." However, the complainant takes a different line. The complainant's objections, based on Article 8.2 of the ILO Staff Regulations, concern not the amount of her pension, but the fact that account was taken of the new scale of pensionable remuneration which the Director-General had brought in as from 1 April 1985. Therefore, the Tribunal is competent.

Consideration 4
Extract:
The complainant's "argument that he was late in discovering that the decision had been unlawful is irrelevant: a time limit is a matter of objective fact and starts when the decision is notified. if that were not so - whatever considerations of equity there might be - there could be no certainty in legal relations between the parties, and such certainty is the whole point and purpose of time limits. An exception might be allowed only if the organisation had acted in bad faith and misled the official."

"As a rule the reasons for any administrative decision must be stated. Non-renewal is plainly a decision of great consequence to a staff member and, though the Director-General is free to make his own assessment of the material facts, the staff member is entitled to know the reasons for the Director-General's conclusion so that he may, if he chooses, lodge first an internal appeal and then, if need be, a complaint with the Tribunal."

"The Tribunal set aside the original dismissal and ordered review. Compliance with its ruling calls for more than a bald affirmation that there has been further inquiry. The complainant ought to have been received and given his say, and the decision he is now challenging ought to have set out the findings of the further inquiry. Such response to the Tribunal's ruling is cavalier and unacceptable."

The complainant contends that the decision not to confirm his appointment but to extend his probation is invalid because he received overdue notice thereof. The organisation points out that though the complainant was aware of the unfavourable report, he did not himself pursue the matter. "In law the organisation must show not just that the complainant failed to act but that it gave him timely notice of the decision or else that his evasiveness prevented it from doing so."
