Considerations 9-10
Extract:
[T]he complainant challenges the receivability of the Organization’s reply [...]. He contends that [...] there is no indication that the Director-General had delegated his authority to its signatory and that the page bearing the signature is “dubious and illegal” because it has been numbered by hand. [...] [...] With regard to the signing of the reply, the Tribunal draws attention to the fact that, under Article 5, paragraph 4, of its Rules, a defendant organisation is not obliged to provide a power of attorney when it is represented by a serving or former official.
Keywords
reply; power of attorney
