Consideration 7
Extract:
"If the complainant felt that the representative's order was ultra vires the proper course was for him, not just to carry on regardless, but to raise the issue with the representative and, if necessary, refer it through the representative to Headquarters for a ruling. By failing to obey an explicit and unambiguous order from his supervisor he was in breach of his duty under the Staff Regulations, which declare staff to be subject to the authority of the Director. In this instance that authority had been delegated to the representative."

Consideration 9
Extract:
"Article 28 of the Service Regulations [...] does entitle officials to protection against attacks related to their status or duties and to compensation for injury. But, as was said in Judgment 1270 [...], its purpose is not to settle a dispute that has arisen within the Organisation itself. So it affords no basis for a claim to help from the Organisation against treatment by a supervisor."

Extract:
"Supervisors do not have to have identical opinions [regarding the evaluation of a staff member's performance]: indeed it is a safeguard for any staff member to be evaluated by more than one supervisor and to have them bring possibly different views to bear."

Consideration 19
Extract:
"Any organisation that is serious about deterring sexual harassment and consequential abuse of authority by a superior officer must be seen to take proper action. In particular victims of such behaviour must feel confident that it will take their allegations seriously and not let them be victimised on that account. In this case the WHO has utterly failed to protect the complainant's rights."

Consideration 6
Extract:
The complainant's "appraisal reports contain adverse comment by his supervisors, especially on his lack of initiative, and there is no evidence before the Tribunal to suggest that their views were not honestly held or were prejudiced. He was given a proper opportunity to comment on those views and his comments form part of the reports. In the circumstances the Tribunal disallows his application for the removal of them from his personal file."

Consideration 15
Extract:
The complainant, who was dismissed at the end of probation, alleges that his supervisor's recommendation for extension of his probation was an abuse of authority "because it was not based on any adverse comment". The Tribunal holds that "he clearly thought that the complainant had not proved himself and required more time. His recommendation was no abuse of authority."

Consideration 14
Extract:
"Subordinates are vulnerable to criticism by superiors and if criticism is untrue must be protected from unjust attack. In this case there was a duty on the organisation to make an investigation. Since it failed to take any such action the complainant is awarded moral damages for its failure to protect and vindicate his good name."

Consideration 4
Extract:
"The Director-General enjoys wide discretion in the matter of renewal of a fixed-term appointment and the Tribunal will exercise only a limited power of review. It will, moreover, show special restraint when a decision not to renew rests on appraisal by the staff member's own supervisors: because of their technical qualifications and familiarity with his work and personal attributes they are, after all, best fitted to advise the Director-General."

Consideration 15
Extract:
If someone from outside of the organization who was picked on the strength of experience and qualifications "is given responsibilities that confer authority over serving staff or entail even a temporary change in the organisation's structure, his appointment must comply with the usual rules on the establishment and filling of posts. That is so even where the contract he signs stipulates that he shall not be an international civil servant."

Consideration 5
Extract:
All staff members should hold a post and perform the duties pertaining thereto. This "principle will not in practice have the effect of impairing the legitimate authority of the head of branch. Work requirements will determine how staff are to be assigned, and the result may be that a staff member has some of his duties taken away from him or is set to work that does not quite match his inclinations or even his talents. The supervisor is also entitled to propose that a staff member be moved [...] but so long as the staff member remains in a particular branch the head must see to it that he is given real work."

Consideration 9
Extract:
"The manner in which [the complainant] was deprived of her duties was sudden and discourteous. Her position has remained unaltered for some years. And not only did her supervisor fail in his responsibility towards her; the ILO, too, since she had committed no misconduct, ought to have done its utmost to find proper duties and responsibilities for her."
Keywords:
liability; organisation's duties; refusal to assign work; supervisor;
Consideration 3
Extract:
"The complainant argues that the unfair treatment lies in her being kept idle for so long. Accordingly the time limit for filing an appeal did not begin on the date on which her supervisor decided, while keeping her on her post, to give her no more work: the injury occurred only with the passage of time. Thus, although it was only after being kept idle for a considerable lapse of time that the complainant appealed to the Director-General, and then to the Tribunal, for compensation for the injury she alleged, her claims are not time-barred and her complaint is receivable."

Consideration 10
Extract:
"In view of [the complainant's] supervisors' categorical and unanimous opinion [...] the Director-General did not exceed the limits of his discretion in concluding that the transfer was in the [organisation's] interests and therefore in accordance with [the applicable] provision. [...] The conclusions he drew from the evidence may have been arguable, but they were not clearly mistaken".

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."

Consideration 6
Extract:
The Director-General believed that there was sufficient evidence of the complainant's incompatibility. "If he had based this solely upon the complainant's inability to achieve an harmonious working relationship with his first-level supervisor [...] there is ample evidence in this respect the complainant would not have been exceptional. But there is other evidence of incompatibility. In a case in which the Director-General has personally and after the exercise of great care concluded that there is sufficient evidence to show that the complainant has "not satisfactorily adjusted to [...] service [in the organization]" it is virtually impossible for the Tribunal to interfere."

Considerations
Extract:
According to the general principles of the international civil service, "a supervisor may suspend from duty, forthwith and without formality, a staff member who is manifestly guilty of misconduct serious enough to make it clear that it is incompatible with the organisation's interests to keep him on the staff. Suspension is a provisional measure and reserves the staff member's rights; it should be followed by an inquiry which affords him full safeguards and as a rule requires notably action by the head of the organisation."

Consideration 5
Extract:
"In exercising his authority the Director-General is not bound by the recommendations of the advisory bodies. He is indeed quite free to determine the general assessment in the light of the whole file and even to alter the assessments agreed on by the official's own supervisors. The bodies which advise the Director-General therefore enjoy just as much freedom as he to assess the official's performance. [...] It is therefore open to them, if they wish, to dissent from an opinion shared by [the supervisors]."
