Judgment No. 308
Decision
THE COMPLAINTS AND THE APPLICATIONS TO INTERVENE ARE DISMISSED.
Consideration 3
Extract:
"If [...] the complainants want general and non-specific measures in the form of new rules, the claim is [...] irreceivable, since the Tribunal is competent to correct breaches of terms of appointment or provisions of the Staff Regulations, not to order the adoption of new rules."
Keywords
complainant; competence of tribunal; staff regulations and rules; amendment to the rules; request by a party
Consideration 2
Extract:
The relevant provision "cites one application of the general principle of equality which governs all aspects of the [organisation's] relations with its staff members. The complainants may therefore rely upon that principle [...] but the general principle of equality does not mean that all [...] staff members [of the organisation] should be subject to identical rules. rather it is reflected in the rule that like circumstances call for like treatment, different ones for different treatment."
Keywords
general principle; equal treatment
