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.

Consideration 7, Summary
Extract:
The complainant submitted a claim for medical expenses incurred by his former wife which another insurance scheme had already met. He submits that he bore no responsibility for the error and acted in good faith. The Tribunal holds that as he knew that his former wife was covered under another health scheme he should have made sure that it had not previously refunded her expenses. The complainant's "conduct argues, to say the least, a degree of laxity quite inadmissible in an international civil servant in that he wilfully ran a substantial and unreasonable risk, the foreseeable outcome being the defrauding of the fund. He has only himself to blame for the consequences of his own oversight."

Consideration 7, Summary
Extract:
Under Article 2.7(1) of the ILO/ITU Staff Health Insurance Fund Regulations claimants must supply a statement, together with supporting documents, listing any benefits received or to be received from another health scheme in respect of each claim made. The complainant submitted a claim for his ex-wife's medical bills, which had already been reimbursed by another health scheme. "In filing such a statement the complainant had a duty to make sure that the 'supporting documents' were genuine and he could not shirk it by shifting responsibility to his former wife and professing his own ignorance and good faith."

Consideration 7
Extract:
The complainant was dismissed for having got the ILO/ITU Health Fund to reimburse medical costs incurred by his former wife when another health scheme had already met them. "It is irrelevant to his plea of good faith that he has instigated criminal proceedings against her in the French courts on the grounds of fraud, though he might cite her conviction, if she were found guilty of the charges, as a new fact warranting review."

Summary
Extract:
The complainant claimed the benefit of a decision delivered on 12 December 1986 (Judgment 792). She got notice of the organisation's final decision to refuse her claim in a letter dated 26 February 1988. But she failed to challenge that decision within the ninety-day limit laid down in Article VII(2) of the Statute. So her complaint is time-barred.

Consideration 6
Extract:
The complainant wants the Tribunal to make recommendations on how to interpret certain provisions in the rules. "Besides stating his claims in vague and general terms the complainant is not seeking the quashing of any decision but mere recommendations in the form of advice to be commended to some unidentified person or authority. The Tribunal may neither give an advisory opinion nor rule on a dispute in which no breach of the terms of appointment or of the Staff Regulations is alleged. For that reason the claims are irreceivable."

Consideration 3
Extract:
The organisation's "patent attorney may have made use of the papers but that is immaterial to the issue in dispute between it and the complainant. The fact remains that he retained the patent attorney on his own initiative and in his own interest, and without any authorisation from the ESO. That being so, the ESO is not under any legal obligation to reimburse to the complainant the amount of fees he contracted to pay the patent attorney."

Summary
Extract:
The complainant was found guilty of gross negligence in the performance of his duties. The organisation confiscated the equivalent of two months' salary. The Tribunal holds that such a decision constitutes a disciplinary sanction, not a measure to allow of compensation. Only such disciplinary action may be taken which is specifically set out in the applicable provisions. Whereas such a sanction is not provided for, the decision to impose it must be quashed.

Summary
Extract:
Unlike special leave, leave required in the service of the organisation must be granted, as provided by the regulations, according to circumstances and is not otherwise subject to a time limit. The 12-day leave requested by the complainant is justified for transfer from one duty-post to another, i.e. for professional purposes. The Tribunal allows the complaint.

Summary
Extract:
A staff member may ask the administration for review of a decision either when some new and unforeseeable fact of decisive importance has occurred since the decision was taken or where the staff member is relying on facts or evidence of which he was not and could not have been aware before the decision was taken. If either condition is fulfilled the administration is under a duty to review, and the new decision will set a new time limit.

Consideration 4
Extract:
"The Tribunal has such competence as is conferred on it by Article II of its Statute. Decisions under Article XII and the Annex [on submissions to the International Court of Justice for advisory opinion] fall outside the scope of its competence. In fact, although Article II, paragraph 7, empowers the Tribunal to rule on its own competence, its ruling is subject to the right of the governing body of an international organisation to seek review if it believes that the Tribunal has exceeded its jurisdiction or committed a fundamental error of procedure."

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."
Keywords:
assignment; official; organisation's duties; organisation's interest; post; qualifications; refusal to assign work; request by a party; right; staff member's duties; supervisor; transfer;
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 8
Extract:
"According to Article II of its Statute the Tribunal may hear complaints alleging non-observance of the official's terms of appointment or of the Staff Regulations. Having only such competence as is conferred upon it, it may not entertain matters out with the ambit of that article. It is therefore not competent to invite the FAO Council to address the International Court of Justice."

Consideration 5
Extract:
The complainant claims to have received unequal treatment. He invites the Tribunal to order disclosure of another staff member's personnel file for comparison with his own, along with the file on the grading of his post. "The ILO objects to disclosing another official's records to the complainant but is willing to let the Tribunal see them."
