Considerations 5-6
Extract:
The organisation maintains that the complaint was time-barred as it was not filed within ninety days of the implied decision to reject it arising out of the administration's silence. The Tribunal holds that "the organisation may not plead its own failure to act. The complainant had good reason to infer [and had done his utmost to ensure] that his claim was still under review."
