Consideration 2
Extract:
There is no need to determine whether the refusal to allow the complainant to file a second rejoinder during the internal proceedings violated his right to a fair hearing. "Any defect there was must be deemed to have been removed by the present proceedings before the Tribunal. [...] Since the complainant is free to comment on any such issue before the Tribunal he has had sufficient opportunity to put his case properly, even if the Appeals Board did not fully respect his rights as a party."

Consideration 4
Extract:
The organisation contends that the complainant, who knew that his contract had expired, had no reason to expect to be notified of its non-renewal. He should therefore have challenged the decision not to renew, which was implicit in the expiry of his appointment, in time. "To allow [the organisation's] plea would enable its competent officers to resolve to deal with such questions only if they thought fit. That would make for an increase in the number of claims dealt with ex gratia on the grounds that they had not been lodged on expiry of the appointment, and so administration would become arbitrary."

Consideration 3
Extract:
"Article VII(1) says that a complaint shall not be receivable unless the means of redress provided under the Staff Regulations have been exhausted. It is not enough just to make an internal appeal; it must be submitted in time. And there the complainant failed [...] to abide by the [...] time-limit. Since she did not follow the internal procedure correctly her complaint is irreceivable."

Consideration 3
Extract:
The complainant's "later discovery that the administration's decision might have been unlawful does not affect the time limit, which is an objective matter of fact and starts on the date on which the impugned decision was notified. 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 setting a time limit. The only exception is where the organisation has misled the complainant and is therefore in breach of good faith."

Consideration 4
Extract:
When the complainant received the personal report, he did not add his own comments. He by-passed the largely informal discussion stage by prematurely filing a notice of appeal. "He thereby interrupted the procedure for preparation of the final text, and only that text constitutes a decision. [He] did no more than challenge a preliminary act, and his present claim to have it set aside is irreceivable."

Consideration 2
Extract:
"According to Article VII[1] of the Statute of the Tribunal a complaint will not be receivable unless the means of redress provided by the Staff Regulations have been exhausted. To fulfil this condition it is not sufficient to address an appeal to the internal appeal bodies; the internal appeal must be submitted in time." In this case, the prescribed time limit was not respected. "Accordingly, the internal appeals procedure was not correctly followed, and the [...] complaint is irreceivable."

Summary
Extract:
The complaint is declared irreceivable, the internal means of redress not having been exhausted. The appeal was submitted to the President after the time-limit laid down in the Regulations had run out. It is immaterial that the Appeals Committee considered the complainant's case on the merits; its opinion does not prevent the Tribunal from observing that the time limit was not respected.

Consideration 3
Extract:
"A judicial decision relates only to the dispute as it is when the decision is given: it cannot rule on a case of which the circumstances are unknown at the time." [The Tribunal had dismissed an earlier complaint for the complainants' failure to exhaust internal means of appeal.] In his final decision, the President noted that the complainants had withdrawn their internal appeal. Their new complaint, coming after that decision, is irreceivable.

Consideration 5(A)
Extract:
According to the Staff Regulations, decisions taken by the Director-General himself are not subject to the complaint procedure. "The performance report referred to in [the complainant's claim] was approved by the Director-General and so he accepted responsibility for it. The complainant was therefore entitled to take the view that he need not address a complaint to the Director-General before submitting [his claim] to the Tribunal. [...] Article VII(1) of the Statute constitutes no bar to a complainant who [...] rightly concluded that he was not required to follow one of the internal appeal procedures."

Consideration 3
Extract:
The internal appeal was declared irreceivable. "But a decision declaring an appeal irreceivable is just as open to challenge as a decision on the merits. And the receivability of this complaint does not turn on that of the internal appeal, and on such questions as whether the latter was submitted in time or duly brought within the scope of Staff Rules [...] The point must be settled solely by reference to the Tribunal's own Statute."

Extract:
Judgment No 450 "did not dispose of the question of the repayment of the medical expenses the [organisation] had agreed to bear, and [the judgment] does not have the authority of res judicata on this matter. In fact both the [Appeals] Board and the Director were required to take the matter up. The Director's refusal to consider the claim to repayment of medical expenses therefore suffers from a mistake of law and on this point the impugned decision must be set aside."

Considerations
Extract:
The time limit for submitting an internal appeal had long since expired when the complainant appealed to the Appeals Board. "The acceptance of his resignation had by then become final and was no longer open to challenge. His involvement in a serious accident [...] did not have the effect of suspending the time limit. The Director therefore correctly applied the rules in dismissing the appeal which the complainant addressed to him against the decision [to reject the internal appeal as being time-barred and therefore irreceivable]."

Consideration 2
Extract:
The decision not to renew the complainant's appointment was notified to him more than ninety days before the date on which he filed the complaint. "However [...] he made a request [...] for the institution of disciplinary proceedings to dispel the suspicion which he believed he was under; and [...] he [subsequently] appealed to the Director-General against the failure to convince the Disciplinary Board. His ultimate purpose [...] was to have the decision of non-renewal set aside; in other words to challenge it." It would be unduly formalistic to make the time limit run from the date of the decision not to renew his appointment was notified.

Considerations 4-5
Extract:
The complainant had filed an internal appeal. He could have appealed against an implied decision to dismiss his claim, since the only communication which he had received was wholly informative and without legal effect. He then asked for confirmation of the rejection. The President's reply did constitute an express decision, the appeal was passed on to an advisory body. At that point, the complaint becomes irreceivable. There is no longer an implied decision to challenge, and the internal means of redress have not been exhausted.

Summary
Extract:
For having failed to indicate before the Appeals Board that the internal appeal against a decision dating from 11 December 1980 was out of time [the organization had argued on the basis of a letter of 22 November 1978 which cannot, according to the Tribunal, be regarded as a decision], the organization cannot to any useful purpose put the argument before the Tribunal. The argument is neither clear nor binding. It is unclear why the organization did not take the point during the internal appeal. In failing to do so, it may have prejudiced the complainant's position.

"That an intervener in a case before the Tribunal may have already filed an internal appeal and had it rejected, and that he has not himself filed a complaint with a tribunal, does not prevent him from applying to intervene in such a complaint provided he complies with the requirements of Article 17 of the Rules of court and Article II of the Statute and provided the judgment to be given by the Tribunal may affect his rights."

Considerations
Extract:
After the lodging of an internal appeal - the complainant sought a further short-term appointment - an extension was granted from 1 April to 31 May. A further extension was granted retroactively on 3 November from 31 May to 31 July. "None of this means [...] that the appeal was allowed or that the [...] complaint is therefore without substance. The two short extensions were granted for compassionate reasons, and they were not tantamount either to acceptance of the appeal or to an offer of any further short-term appointment. Accordingly the complainant still has a cause of action and the Tribunal will hear his claims for relief."

Extract:
"It does not appear that [the complainant] did appeal to the Director-General [as required under the applicable provisions]. His counsel may have written letters to the Director-General but the evidence does not show that they filed any claim in the proper sense of an appeal seeking the quashing or amendment of a decision. No internal appeal having been made and the internal means of redress not being exhausted, the claims are irreceivable."

Considerations
Extract:
"Article VII[1] does not lay down an absolute rule. A complainant may abandon the internal proceedings even before a decision is taken and may appeal directly to the Tribunal when the appeals body fails to report and there is no reason to suppose from the evidence that it is likely to do so within a reasonable period. But it must be quite clear from the evidence that there is no decision, and only in quite exceptional cases will the Tribunal find that the condition is met."

Considerations
Extract:
In May the complainant made known his intention to appeal against the transfer. The Director-General replied that he was willing to refer the matter to the Joint Committee. In August the administration said the Director-General, who was absent, had received a recommendation to that effect. In September it told the complainant that the matter would be put to the Committee. "These shifting attitudes, which in the end came to nothing and spanned four months, constitute exceptional circumstances and warranted a direct complaint to the Tribunal."

Extract:
"The organization contends that the appeal was irreceivable by the [Appeal] Board and is therefore irreceivable by the Tribunal. [...] The complaint had been dismissed by the Tribunal under Judgment No. 408 [...] [this] ground fails. The appeal was dismissed as irreceivable. Such a dismissal constitutes no barrier to a second presentation if the objection of irreceivability can be overcome."

Considerations
Extract:
The time limit does not run from the date of the two communications from the organization which said that the complainants request was still under review, and they therefore did not constitute final rejection of his claim. "An appeal against either of those replies was therefore premature, the [organization] not having taken, by [the date when the internal appeal was filed], any final decision expressly rejecting the complainant's request." The Director-General was correct in deciding that the complainant's internal appeal was irreceivable. The complaint is dismissed.
Keywords:

Summary
Extract:
Under the Rules a claim is deemed to have been rejected if no definitive reply has been made within three months. The request for reclassification was submitted on 29 November 1979; three months later, on 1 March 1980, having received no reply, the complainant's request must be deemed to have been rejected. The complainant waited until 16 July 1980 to appeal to the internal appeals body. In the meantime, on 25 March and 19 June, he had been informed that the matter was being studied. The Director-General was correct in deciding that the internal appeal was irreceivable: there had been no final decision expressing rejection. The complaint is dismissed.
