Consideration 6
Extract:
"The Tribunal notes [...] that almost three and a half years elapsed between the time when the complainant submitted his initial request and that when the impugned decision was rendered. In view of the circumstances of the instant case, this period is excessively long. This decision was not taken within a reasonable length of time and the Organisation did not respect the need for expeditious proceedings stemming from the duty of care which all organisations owe to their staff."
