    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 11

    Extract:

    The complainant's "claim to costs is receivable because the organisation did not answer his claim to the refund and indeed did nothing at all until he had actually filed this complaint."

    Consideration 9

    Extract:

    "Provided a communication takes the form of a decision, its lawfulness is immaterial to the reckoning of the time limit: to hold otherwise would impair the stability of the parties' position in law, which is the purpose of the time limit."

    64th Session, 1988
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    "The organization [...] accepts as a term of every contract of appointment its duty to respect freedom of association, and anyone who has such a contract may challenge any decision that impairs that freedom. What the complainant is saying - indeed it is the sole issue - is that the organization acted in breach of freedom of association. His complaint is therefore receivable insofar as he is suing in his own name."

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    The list of those to whom the Tribunal is open as given in Article II[6] of the Statute of the Tribunal "is exhaustive. For one thing, it does not include bodies that have legal personality. For another, even supposing the association, though it is an official body, did not have personality in law but was just a de facto group, it does not hold a contract of appointment with the organization. On both counts it does not have access to the Tribunal under Article II and the complaint is irreceivable insofar as it purports to be a party."

    Intergovernmental Council of Copper Exporting Countries

    Consideration 9

    Extract:

    "Under Article VII[1] of the Tribunal's Statute a complaint will not be receivable unless it challenges a final decision or, under VII[3], an implied one. Since the organisation did not take an express final decision within 60 days of the date on which the complainant notified his claim by letter of 4 June 1987, his claim is receivable under VII[3] in the same manner as one challenging an express final decision."

    Consideration 25

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    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."

  • Judgment 887


    64th Session, 1988
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations 8-9

    Extract:

    Certainty of the position in law requires the complainant to state clearly what it is he wants. The Tribunal observes that in both his internal appeal and the present complaint, the complainant has failed to indicate the specific documents or type of document he wished to have included in his personal file. Nor has he made clear the reasons for his action. In the present state of the dossier, his complaint is an abuse of the right of appeal under the Statute of the Tribunal.

    Keywords:

    cause of action; complaint; elements; no cause of action; personal file; receivability of the complaint; vague claim; vexatious complaint;

    Considerations 7-8

    Extract:

    "Appeal will lie either against an express decision, described as an 'act adversely affecting' the official, or against rejection inferred from failure to answer a claim. In the latter case, where the decision is implied, the prerequisite is the lodging by the official of a formal appeal with the administration."

    64th Session, 1988
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 15

    Extract:

    "Since the rights Mr. B. is relying on in his application [to intervene] were ruled on once and for all in Judgment 855, the res judicata rule bars him from raising the same issues again by other means and his application is therefore irreceivable."

    Consideration 11

    Extract:

    "Since the complainant failed to file his internal appeal in time his complaint is irreceivable. According to Article VII of the Statute a complaint is receivable only if the internal means of redress have been exhausted."

    64th Session, 1988
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations 13-14

    Extract:

    "The res judicata rule applies to an intervener because by the very act of intervening he espouses the complainant's case. It is true that there are some arguments which he puts forward again and which those judgments did not address. But that does not mean that the conditions [...] for applying the res judicata rule are not met: between this case and the earlier ones there is identity in the parties, in the purpose of the suit and in the cause of action."

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    "What the complainant challenges is a final decision against which he had no internal means of redress within the meaning of Article VII[1] of the Statute of the Tribunal, and he respected the time limit in VII[2]. His complaint is therefore receivable."

    Reference(s)

  • Judgment 860


    63rd Session, 1987
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Summary

    Extract:

    As to identity in the cause of action, Mr [A.] notes that the Tribunal had in part rejected the complainants' plea of breach of good faith on the grounds that they had taken up duty after the new criteria had taken effect. Mr [A.] contends that this reasoning does not apply to him insofar as he had taken up duty before the change in rules. The Tribunal acknowledges that there is on this point a new cause of action; however it holds on the merits that a staff member has no right, save in exceptional cases, to demand that the rules on promotion in force at the time of appointment should never be modified.

    Consideration 14

    Extract:

    "The application is irreceivable because the applicant is seeking, without offering a shred of new evidence, to challenge a decision the Tribunal handed down after letting him have his full say in written proceedings."

  • Judgment 858


    63rd Session, 1987
    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 24

    Extract:

    The complainant "decided that it was not necessary to appeal in accordance with the rules and get a final decision. His arguments justifying his inaction are not well founded. His decision not to pursue an appeal was made deliberately and on legal advice, and he was not misled by the organization: the appropriate rules were supplied to him. His explanation is without merit and unacceptable."

    Keywords:

    absence of final decision; internal remedies exhausted; receivability of the complaint;

    Summary

    Extract:

    The complainant was informed on 9 March 1984 of the decision not to extend his sick leave, confirming the date on which he was to be separated. The complainant lodged a protest by letter on 25 July 1984. Although that letter was not in the usual form of an appeal, the organization agreed to treat it as one. The organization's well-meaning offer was expressly turned down by the complainant. His refusal brought an end to contacts between the parties and the complainant never obtained a final decision from the Director-General.

    absence of final decision; internal appeal; internal remedies exhausted; receivability of the complaint;



  • Judgment 852


    63rd Session, 1987
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Summary

    Extract:

    Faced with the administration's failure to take action on the basis of the Appeals Committee's report, the complainant filed a complaint within the three-month time limit set by Article VII of the Statute of the Tribunal. The final decision was later taken, after the expiry of the time limits in the Service Regulations. It follows that the organisation's objections to receivability must be dismissed. The proceedings shall resume on the merits.

  • Judgment 847


    63rd Session, 1987
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 9

    Extract:

    The complainant claims that Circular 144 on the reckoning of seniority for promotion should be withdrawn. The claim is irreceivable inasmuch as "the complainant is not challenging an individual decision but objecting to certain general rules in the Circular. As the Tribunal has held before - for example in Judgment 625 [...] - a complaint impugning a general decision against which no direct internal appeal will lie is irreceivable until individual decisions are taken on the strength of the general decision."

    administrative instruction; application for quashing; competence of tribunal; general decision; individual decision; receivability of the complaint;

    Consideration 7

    Extract:

    What the complainant "is really challenging is the reckoning of his seniority for promotion as originally determined. He could of course at one time have challenged it but [...] it is now too late."
