Consideration 3

Extract:

The complainant has applied for oral proceedings but has given no justification for his application and, in fact, does not even mention it in his complaint brief. As the facts are fully documented and uncontested and the written submissions are sufficient to enable the Tribunal to make an informed decision, the application for oral proceedings is rejected.

Consideration 4

Extract:

The fact that some of the complainant’s medical expenses have not yet been reimbursed at the 100 per cent rate is not a decision, much less a final one. As UNESCO has convincingly submitted, full reimbursement is pending submission by the complainant of all documentation.
