Summary
Extract:
Article 61(5) of the Interpol Staff Rules empowers the Secretary General to grant an official a supplementary indemnity on termination of appointment, "taking into account the particular circumstances relating to the personal situation of the official concerned". The Tribunal finds no evidence of such a "particular circumstance" in this case.

Summary
Extract:
The complainant objects to the amount of his termination indemnity. He relies on a practice the organization followed before its staff regulations came into force, on breach of equal treatment and on the rules of other international organisations. For each plea the Tribunal refers to the answers it gave in Judgment 1080.

Extract:
The complainant is not satisfied with the amount paid him in termination indemnity and submits that he has an acquired right to the application of the material provisions in French law. The Tribunal observes that "French law would have applied only if, and insofar as, there had been an agreement with the French government to that effect. There was none."

Consideration 6
Extract:
After recommending that the complainant should get a personal promotion, the Selection Board held a further meeting at the instance of the Deputy Director-General and shifted ground. The Tribunal holds that "in only two cases may an internal body be asked to think again. One is where something unforeseeable and of decisive moment occurs after it has reported, and the other is where there comes to light some fact or evidence, again of cardinal importance, that it did not know of or could not have known of before it reported." Since those conditions were not met in the instant case, the decision is tainted with a procedural flaw and must be quashed. The complainant is sent back to the Organisation for his case to be reviewed.

Extract:
"The complainant is objecting to a decision based on a statement allegedly made by the Director-General about the circumstances of his departure from UNESCO. The Tribunal is competent ratione personae: under Article II(6) of its Statute it is open to former officials of UNESCO." But it is not competent ratione materiae under II(5) inasmuch as he is not alleging non-observance of the terms of his appointment or provisions of the Staff Regulations. "He must show not just some connection with the terms of his appointment but also 'non-observance' of them."

Summary
Extract:
The complainant claims the expatriation allowance provided under Article 72 of the EPO Service Regulations for officials who, at the time of their appointment, have not been continuously resident in their duty station for the preceding three years. As he does not meet that requirement, he wants the time he spent in the Federal Republic of Germany to be discounted and he relies on the German wording of the provision, which refers to the official's being "permanently established" rather than "resident" at the duty station as in the English and French versions. The English and French versions being quite explicit, the German version must be interpreted in a way that reconciles all three. (Vide Judgment 926.)

"As the Tribunal observed in Judgment 926, the [expatriation] allowance is intended to meet the case of an official who has no affinity with the country of his duty station. Whether the condition of 'continuous residence' [in Article 72(1) of the Service Regulations] is met depends on the existence of objective and factual links with that country: the test is one of simple residence."

Consideration 4
Extract:
The fact "that the measure under challenge affects several groups of staff and is therefore general in purport [...] does not in itself make the complaints irreceivable: decisions do not need to be individual to be challengeable before the Tribunal. As Article VII(2) of the Tribunal's Statute makes plain, a general decision too is challengeable. That article sets the time limit for filing a complaint against 'a decision affecting a class of officials', in other words a general decision. Yet that does not mean that a complaint challenging any sort of general decision will necessarily be receivable: there is also the rule in VII(1) that the internal means of redress must have been exhausted."

Challenging the amount of the termination indemnity they received, the complainants rely on a practice Interpol followed before the Staff Regulations came into effect. Their plea fails. "Whatever arrangements may have been made before the Regulations came into force, they were neither so constant nor even so consistent as to afford evidence of the existence of any general rule."

Summary
Extract:
The complainant was denied a dependency entitlement for 1989 because his wife's income did not meet the conditions laid down in Provisional Staff Rule 5.03.2(d) as it read at the material time. Loss of the entitlement brought the complainant's combined family income below the maximum limit. As from 1 January 1990 the Agency's practice was amended so as to limit the loss of such entitlement to the same amount by which the spouse's income runs over the income limit. Inasmuch as the new rule does not prescribe retroactive change, the complainant has no grounds on which to claim it.

Summary
Extract:
For an IAEA staff member's spouse to qualify as a dependant, his or her gross salary must not exceed that of the lowest step in the general service grade applicable in the spouse's country of employment. That amount is converted into Austrian schillings at the rate applicable in January of the year in question. Under the prescribed method the complainant's wife failed to qualify as a dependant and the Director refused to treat her as one. The Director's decision was a discretionary one and the Tribunal sees no grounds for setting it aside.

The complainant objects to a reckoning giving effect to Judgment 922, which set aside the decision to dismiss him and ordered payment of damages, insofar as the amount he got did not allow him the benefit of a further yearly salary increment. As the complainant's performance had not been declared satisfactory and therefore failed to meet the condition set out in the relevant rules, the Tribunal dismisses the claim.

For the Tribunal to "enforce a promise by an international organisation to one of its employees", the conditions that have to be met include "that the promise should be substantive and [...] that it should have come from someone competent or deemed competent to make it." In the instant case the making of a substantive promise is not proven.

As the International Union for the protection of new varieties of plants (UPOV) has not met these requirements, the Tribunal is not competent to hear the complaint filed by an official of that organisation even though the WIPO Staff Regulations and Staff Rules apply to him as a UPOV employee.

Summary
Extract:
The complainant left employment in a private company to join the staff of the EPO and applied for the transfer of his pension rights to the organisation's retirement scheme. The company agreed to refund the contributions he had made but would not transfer the actuarial equivalent of his pension rights. Inasmuch as Article 12(1) of the EPO Pension Scheme Regulations and Implementing Rule 12.1/1(i)(b) only allow the transfer of those rights with the consent of the previous retirement scheme and that in such cases the amount must be certified by that scheme to be the actuarial equivalent of the official's pension rights, the organisation's retirement scheme was not empowered to accede to the complainant's request.

In the matter of promotion two principles emerge from the case law: "one is that [the Tribunal] will neither substitute its own assessment of an official's performance for the President's nor review the merits of candidates for promotion. The other is that since the grant of promotion is and must remain at the president's discretion, the mere fact that an official may qualify for it under the rules does not confer on him any enforceable right to it."

Consideration 17
Extract:
The complainant's candidature in an internal competition was rejected on the grounds that he had not served the ILO for an unbroken period of two years. He submits that the Staff Regulations nowhere lay down such a condition. The plea fails. The two-year requirement was clear from the competition announcement; it also appears to have been a standard and long-standing condition for entering internal ILO competitions.

Consideration 19
Extract:
The complainant's candidature in an internal competition having been eliminated, he challenged the composition of the Selection Board. He had doubts that its Vice-chairman, who had retired and later gone back to the organisation, might not have been reappointed to the Board as required under the material rules. The Tribunal observes that the guidelines issued to implement the provisions of Circular 380 (Series 6) of 3 March 1987 expressly stipulate that officials who have been reappointed will be considered to have had no break in service for the purposes of service on the Selection Board. The argument fails.

Summary
Extract:
In accordance with Circular No. 380 (Series 6) of 3 March 1987, the complainant, who had taken early retirement, was reappointed under a short-term contract. The decision he impugns is one denying him the right to enter internal competitions on the grounds that he had not yet acquired two years' continuous service since his reappointment. The Tribunal holds that the decision was in keeping with Article 4.11 of the Staff Regulations which says that "a former official, on reappointment, shall be regarded for the purpose of these Regulations, as becoming an official for the first time". The complaint is dismissed.
