Consideration 4
Extract:
"Though [the complainant] did rely on facts of which he had been unaware at the outset, there was no new time limit on that account, the time limit in the Service Regulations being objectively determined and unqualified. Any other conclusion, even if founded on considerations of equity, would impair the stability of the parties' position in law, which is the purpose and indeed the whole point of a time limit. The only exception is where the organisation has misled the complainant or concealed some paper from him so as to do him harm, in breach of the good faith which should govern administration. But the condition is not fulfilled here."

Summary
Extract:
The Tribunal will hold the internal means of redress to have been exhausted if the complainant has pursued them with all diligence but without being able within a reasonable period of time to obtain a result. In this case, for the Tribunal to entertain the complaint, the complainant would have to satisfy it that there was no objective prospect of the internal process being concluded within a reasonable time. He has not done so.

Summary
Extract:
The complainant had been informed in November that his internal appeal had been provisionally rejected and referred to the Appeals Committee. The internal appeal reached the Appeals Committee in January. The Appeals Committee had not had time to render a decision by February, at which time the complaint was lodged. The complainant came before the Tribunal without having exhausted the internal means of redress. The complaint is dismissed.

Summary
Extract:
The complainant objects to the detriment to himself and his family caused by his assignment to Nepal. So the decision he impugns is the one informing him of his transfer, of which he got notice in March 1981. Since he waited until March 1983 to put his case to the Appeal Board the complaint is irreceivable.

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:
"In the absence of a provision which says that any decision should mention the procedure for challenging it, the organisation was not bound to indicate in its decision [...] on the internal 'complaint' the possibility of challenging it before the Tribunal. Such information would, however, have been desirable since the distinction between a 'request' and a 'complaint' under [Staff Regulations] is not obvious. in giving such information the organisation would indeed have been following the practice in other organisations."
Keywords:
decision; duty to inform; internal appeal; no provision; procedure before the tribunal; right of appeal;
Consideration 1
Extract:
The Staff Regulations provide for two internal means of redress: a 'request' that the Director General take a decision and a 'complaint' against an act adversely affecting the staff member. As the Tribunal held in Judgment No. 398, any application challenging a decision must be treated as a 'complaint'.

Consideration 11
Extract:
The letter in question, unlike the other letters is headed: "An appeal for [...]"; it is addressed to the Director-General (unlike the others) and it concludes with three claims that are much the same as those before the Tribunal. "It is therefore beyond doubt that [this] letter [...] is the only one to qualify, in form and content, as a [...] 'complaint'". (It is, however, time-barred.)

The complainant submitted a 'complaint' to the Director-General long after expiration of the time limit set by the applicable provisions. "He cannot therefore be deemed to have exhausted the internal means of redress provided in the Staff Regulations, and his present complaint is irreceivable."

Consideration 7
Extract:
In this case, "the Board's further comments and the Director-General's further approval did not alter a whit the previous comments and decision. Being mere confirmation, they set off no new time limit for filing a complaint. The complaint is irreceivable because" the time limit for filing it had expired.

Consideration 8
Extract:
"A request for review must be addressed to the maker of the challenged decision. In this case, the complainant asked the Reports Board to reconsider its [previous] comments [...] and that was tantamount to challenging the Director-General's decision [...] His challenge was misconceived in law and could not impair the finality of the decision."

Consideration 3
Extract:
"Even if the letter [...] had been written without authority, the decision therein would not cease to exist on that account. [...] Provided a communication takes the form of a decision its lawfulness is immaterial to the reckoning of the time limit for lodging an appeal. To hold otherwise would impair the stability of the parties' position in law, which is the purpose and indeed the whole point of a time limit."

Consideration 2
Extract:
The internal appeal lodged by the complainant was time-barred. Thus, "he has failed to comply with the provisions of Article VII of the Statute of the Administrative Tribunal, which require that he shall have exhausted such other means of resisting the impugned decision as were open to him under the applicable Staff Regulations."

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."

The complainant pleas that he had no chance to present his case to the Appeals Committee in person. "All that the right to a hearing requires is that the complainant should be free to put his case, without arbitrary restrictions, either in writing or orally."

Considerations
Extract:
The applicable provision "says that a staff member may designate another staff member to present his case or act as his counsel before the appeals [body]. The FAO cannot therefore be held liable for not appointing a qualified lawyer to advise the complainant, nor was he denied any due procedural safeguards in putting his case".

Summary
Extract:
The complainant's submission of an internal appeal was time-barred; for not having correctly followed the internal procedure, her complaint is irreceivable. The discovery of an allegedly unlawful decision does not affect the time limit for internal appeal. The only exception is where the organisation has misled the complainant in breach of good faith.
