Consideration 10
Extract:
The complainant was accused of misappropriating funds and summarily dismissed for misconduct. He claims payment of repatriation costs, to which he would not be entitled upon summary dismissal under Rule 109.9 (f). However, the Director-General agreed to deduct them from the sums which he allegedly owed the organization. The Tribunal holds that "since the dismissal was wrongful and the organization has failed to prove that the complainant owes it that sum, the claim succeeds."

Consideration 15
Extract:
"The procedural flaw caused the complainant injury. As to the relief she is entitled to on that account, the Tribunal holds that it is not advisable to grant her the redress that would ordinarily be the consequence of quashing the impugned decision, namely reinstatement. The Tribunal therefore exercises the discretion vested in it by Article VIII of its Statute and instead awards the complainant damages for the breach of procedure. It sets the amount at the equivalent of one year's salary and allowances."

Consideration 4
Extract:
The Tribunal ordered the complainant's reinstatement in Judgment 999. But the Director-General decided that reinstatement was not in the interest of the organization and awarded him compensation. "To condemn someone to unemployment on account of a single negligent act unaccompanied by improper intention, and in circumstances that do not justify loss of confidence by the employer, is to demand a humanly impossible standard of performance by the employee and makes the right to reinstatement illusory."

Consideration 5
Extract:
"In the circumstances the refusal of reinstatement is not justified, and the fact that dismissal occurred over five years ago does not stand in the way of reinstatement, especially since the complainant was not responsible for any of the delay. He is accordingly entitled to reinstatement."

Consideration 4
Extract:
"Even if the Director-General has discretion to refuse reinstatement 'in the interest of the organization' he must exercise it fairly and reasonably after considering all the material facts. Here the facts were that the complainant had throughout had irreproachable appraisal reports. [...] Despite surveillance, without his knowledge, for six months prior to [the incident that led to his dismissal] no wrongdoing, negligence or irregularity on his part was discovered. [...] The Director-General has failed to take into consideration the above material facts and has erred in treating the complainant as guilty of a 'cover-up'. The refusal of reinstatement was thus not a proper exercise of whatever discretion he had in the matter."

Consideration 20
Extract:
"True, a staff member may not assert any right to promotion and the choice of the successful applicant is at the discretion of the administration, which alone may appraise the organisation's interests. Yet the exercise of discretion is subject to restrictions in law and the Tribunal will to that extent review the decision: see for example Judgment 1016 [...]. So the staff member has undeniably the right to file an internal appeal or a complaint with the Tribunal if he believes that the appointment to a vacancy he has applied for is improper."

Consideration 7
Extract:
The complainant's request to have his designated home changed was turned down. He says that at the time of his recruitment there was an agreement with the administration to give him local status to avoid his running the risk of returning to his home country. "The argument fails. [...] The ILO could never have forced him to go [back to his home country], the taking of home leave being a right, not a duty".

The complainant was appointed to a post of reviser. For several years she served, in keeping with her job description, as de facto Head of the German Section. Later, her head-of- section duties were given to another reviser. "It is clear from [the complainant's job description] that the incumbent does not have the right to perform all of the linguistic and management duties stated therein, though he must be capable of performing them if his immediate supervisor so requires in the Office's interests."

Summary
Extract:
Following a period on unpaid leave for personal reasons, the complainant could not be reinstated under Article 40(3)(d), which entitles him to reinstatement under certain conditions. He alleges breach of the terms of appointment by Eurocontrol. The Tribunal observes that "he is unable to point to any one vacant post corresponding to his grade, category and service in which the organisation have failed to reinstate him. Still less is he able to point to such a series of failures to reinstate him as might raise the presumption of a decision by the organisation never to reinstate him at all".

Consideration 12
Extract:
"Since the rule was unlawful it could never become lawful by lapse of time or by acquiescence and a claim could therefore never be barred. Even though a claim to actual payment of the non-resident's allowance cannot succeed in these proceedings because of the complainant's failure to follow the proper internal procedure, the question of her entitlement to the allowance must be considered because of its bearing on the matter of the recurrent benefits."

"The complainant maintains that he is entitled to have refunded to him any tax that was levied on his ilo salary and made over to the Indonesian government. [...] The ILO explained to him that if he could satisfy it that he himself had paid tax to the government it would reimburse the sum, and indeed that offer holds good. But the complainant has never offered any evidence of such payment, and his claim must therefore fail."

Consideration 7
Extract:
The complainant and her husband are employees of the EPO. In view of the fact that between them they pay a double premium, she is seeking the refund at 100 per cent of their medical expenses, and not 80 per cent as stipulated in the insurance policy. In keeping with the organisation's view, the Tribunal holds that under the material rules of the organisation, "each staff member pays contributions that depend on the amount of salary, yet is entitled to the same benefits, whatever the degree of individual risk or family situation may be. Status as an official will always prevail over status as the member of an official's family, and the right to refund derives solely from the former, not from any marital connection there may be with another official."
