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."

Consideration 9
Extract:
The complainant was dismissed for reasons of unsatisfactory performance after a six-month extended period of probation even though his work showed improvement during the extension. It does not "matter that the complainant experienced difficulties in the first year of probation. In agreeing to extend the probation the President acknowledged that there might be improvement, and indeed there was. It was a serious abuse of discretion for him to overlook those facts unless the dossier contains evidence produced after the end of the normal probation period."

Summary
Extract:
The reason given for non-renewal of the complainant's contract was unsatisfactory performance. The evaluation report for 1981 was signed long after the time limit laid down in the Staff Rules. Only a few weeks elapsed between the completion of the 1981 report and the processing of the 1982 report. As a result, the impugned decision took no account of the fact that between the complainant's two last performance reports he was not given time to add his objections or to show he could come up to expectation. The decision overlooked an essential fact and drew clearly mistaken conclusions from the evidence. The complainant is entitled to damages.

Consideration 15
Extract:
A memorandum from the Director-General sets the conditions for renewal a fixed-term contract on the grounds of illness. "The memorandum is [...] material evidence, even though it is not part of the Staff Regulations, and the Tribunal will hold that Director-General overlooked essential facts if he refused renewal despite the complainant's fulfilling the conditions set in the memorandum."

Considerations
Extract:
The complainant was classified "unfit for employment". Her appointment was terminated. The Tribunal found that in failing to accord the medical opinion of the complainant's personal physician the serious and thorough consideration it deserved, the organization's chief medical officer took insufficient account of an essential fact. The decision suffers from a defect which the Tribunal will take into consideration.

Consideration 6
Extract:
The President overlooked essential facts of which the complainant has furnished proof. His present wife normally lives in Tenerife with their son who attends school regularly there. He has real property there, but has no assets in Belgium. However, he is divorced from his first wife, who is still living in that country, he has not kept in touch with the children of his first marriage, who are now adult, and he has no other kin in the country of his birth. The decision whereby his "home" remains in Belgium is set aside.

Consideration 9
Extract:
The Tribunal quashed the decision to reprimand the complainant because it was not based on a complete consideration of the facts. "The complainant asks for an order for compensation and costs. Since however the Tribunal considers that the complainant's conduct, whether or not deserving of a reprimand, was improper, such an order would not be appropriate."

Consideration 8
Extract:
The complainant lost his job by virtue of a provision concerning the abolition of posts. For reasons of his age, seniority, the expectation that he would soon retire and family responsibilities, "the complainant had a certain right to preference, even over more highly qualified candidates. That does not mean [...] that he should have been appointed in preference to any other candidate. [...] In putting him on the same footing as the others, the organization failed to take due account of all the relevant factors of his case."

Consideration 11
Extract:
The complainant alleges prejudice and failure to take full account of the facts. "Since the existence of either ground would justify the interference by the Tribunal with a discretionary decision, it is convenient to consider the case as it is presented on these two grounds. [...] Failure to take full account of the facts is the wider ground [...]."

Consideration 5
Extract:
"[I]t appears from the evidence in the dossier that the circumstances in which the complainant's appointment ended amount to an abuse of authority." [no description of post, no detailed comment on his performance, hence either omission of essential facts or clearly mistaken conclusions from the facts, hence quashing of decision.]

Consideration 3
Extract:
"In its report the Appeals Committee set out the parties' allegations and commented on them. The Director-General knew of the Committee's report since he expressed his views on it. He was therefore aware of the facts which the complainant alleges were essential, and there is nothing to suggest that he disregarded them."

Considerations
Extract:
"The Director-General fell into the error of supposing that because the limited part of the complainant's work which he himself saw was bad in his opinion therefore the complainant's work as a whole was to be condemned. In treating as of no account the unanimous opinion of those who were familiar with the whole of [the complainant's] performance, the Director-General failed to take into consideration essential facts of the case. His decision must therefore be quashed."
Keywords:
contract; different appraisals; disregard of essential fact; fixed-term; non-renewal of contract; satisfactory service; unsatisfactory service; work appraisal;
Considerations
Extract:
"While the Director-General [...] was entitled to differ [with] the opinion expressed by the high-ranking officials [...] he should, before reaching the final decision which he alone was competent to make, have taken into account not only the complainant's attitude on the particular occasions when he had 'personally seen him at work', but also the quality of the complainant's general performance of his duties as attested by his immediate supervisors in highly favourable terms."

Consideration 7
Extract:
The complainant's appointment was terminated and his post abolished. "[T]he organization has an obligation to the complainant because of the fact which was not taken into account, namely the intervention with the [national] authorities by the senior technical adviser, without good reason, in the exercise of his official duties. As a result, the complainant has suffered both material and moral injury [...] taking account of [...] in particular [...] the fact that the organization was in ignorance through no fault of its own, the organization should pay the complainant compensation".
Keywords:
abolition of post; consultation; contract; disregard of essential fact; fixed-term; injury; liability; material injury; member state; moral injury; organisation; termination of employment;
Consideration 7
Extract:
The technical adviser to the national authorities expressed views concerning the complainant which were, to say the least, lacking in impartiality; he implicitly recognised that he induced the national authorities, without good reason, to take steps which led to the complainant's dismissal before the termination of his contract. The organization did not take account of this essential fact, but it cannot be blamed for not being aware of these circumstances. The complainant is entitled to compensation.

Consideration 4
Extract:
"[I]f his superiors did not think it necessary to give [the complainant] any special training, this was because he had already had some 15 years' experience as a translator and reviser, so that he was assumed to know his job." Failure to provide training is not a material fact in the matter at issue.

Consideration 3
Extract:
"The decision not to renew the complainant's appointment [...] taken on the basis of a single unfavourable report after a long period of satisfactory service, would leave out of account essential material elements and would constitute an obviously wrong conclusion drawn from the record unless the appraisal report and the comments thereon disclosed sufficiently serious deficiencies in the work or conduct of the official concerned to justify by themselves the decision not to renew the official's appointment."
