Judgment 3509
120th Session, 2015
European Patent Organisation
Extracts: EN,
FR
Full Judgment Text: EN,
FR
Summary: The complainant challenges the EPO’s refusal to send his mail to an address, which is not the declared residence address in his last retirement questionnaire.
Consideration 7
Extract:
"As the complainant succeeds in part, he would normally be entitled to costs. In the present case, the Tribunal considers the following issues with regard to costs: the complainant did not file a proper complaint brief detailing his grievance, instead referring only to his internal appeal; his complaint brief mainly discusses issues which have already been ruled upon by the Tribunal in several previous judgments; and the complaint contains unacceptable, offensive and unjustified statements against the EPO as a whole. In light of these matters, the Tribunal will not award him costs."

Judgment 3402
119th Session, 2015
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Extracts: EN,
FR
Full Judgment Text: EN,
FR
Summary: The Tribunal found that the evidence established an intention to defraud on the part of the complainant and that the decision to dismiss him was not disproportionate, but it awarded damages because of the delay in the internal appeal procedure.
Consideration 11
Extract:
"[O]rdinarily a staff member who has been dismissed for engaging in fraud, would suffer considerable stress while waiting for the answer in an internal appeal about whether the challenged finding of fraud would be upheld or rejected. There is no reason to doubt that this would have been so in the present case. The internal appeal did take too long and the complainant is entitled to moral damages [...]. However, this was only very much a subsidiary part of the complaint and, in substance, the complainant has failed. Accordingly the complainant is not entitled to costs."

moral injury; no award of costs;
Judgment 3301

European Patent Organisation

Full Judgment Text: EN,

Summary: The complainant through five irreceivable complaints requested information concerning facts that occurred before his retirement for disability.
Consideration 5
Extract:
The Tribunal considers that the five complaints constitute an abuse of process for three reasons. The first being that the five complaints were essentially identical, the second being that they were clearly irreceivable and the third being that they contained unacceptable, offensive and unjustified expressions against the Organisation as a whole. This would justify the award of costs to the Organisation. However, in the circumstances, considering that the case is dealt with in accordance with the summary procedure, the Tribunal will not award costs.

Consideration 7
Extract:

Judgment 1847
87th Session, 1999
European Patent Organisation
Extracts: EN,

Full Judgment Text: EN,
FR
Consideration 11
Extract:
"The question of both legal and translation costs is entirely within the discretion of the Tribunal. Where a valid, sufficient and binding offer to settle is made by a defendant in the course of proceedings, and the complainant continues with the complaint in the face of such an offer, the Tribunal may well deny costs. The Tribunal also notes that in the present case the complainant filed her internal appeal almost immediately and without apparently requesting information from the defendant or from [the insurance company] as to the progress of her claim: she appears to be more interested in litigation than in dealing in good faith with her employer. Parties and their legal advisers should be encouraged to settle their claims and dissuaded from time-wasting disputation."

Consideration 13
Extract:
"Claim 8 is to costs. Again the Tribunal reminds [the complainant], in view of the intemperate language of his submissions, that he owes a duty of respect to the Organization and to its staff. Because he has failed in that duty the Tribunal disallows his claim to costs, even though one of his claims succeeds."

Consideration 15
Extract:

Consideration 9
Extract:
The Tribunal quashed the decision to reprimand the complainant because it was not based on a complete consideration of the facts. "The complainant asks for an order for compensation and costs. Since however the Tribunal considers that the complainant's conduct, whether or not deserving of a reprimand, was improper, such an order would not be appropriate."

Consideration 34
Extract:
"The organisation asks the Tribunal to order the complainant and the interveners to pay an equitable contribution towards the lawyers' fees incurred by the organisation. It is true that the organisation has succeeded against the interveners and on some of the claims made by the complainant. But it has never been the practice of the Tribunal to order the complainant to pay the whole or any part of an organisation's costs even when the claim has entirely failed."
