Consideration 3
Extract:
"An organisation owes its staff a general duty of care, and must not cause them undue hardship. A case of non-renewal is no exception. The duty may entail avoidance or reduction of injury that termination may cause [...] at least when it was not a short-term appointment, when the record of service was long, and when the official had reasonable expectations of making a career in the organisation."

Consideration 2
Extract:
"Good faith must govern relations between administration and official [...]. It requires each party to a contract to let the other have beforehand any material information on points that may reasonably be seen as decisive. Whether a post is of limited or unlimited duration need not be a matter of indifference to the candidate since the duration may affect stability of employment. The Tribunal is not satisfied, however, and indeed doubts that the want of information influenced the complainant one way or the other."

Consideration 8
Extract:
The organization has "discharged its duty to take an express decision duly giving its reasons for not reinstating him. Its decision [not to reinstate him] takes seriatim all the posts he might have been appointed to. It explains the reasons of fact or law why it came to the view that his training, experience or grasp of languages or the need for special skills disqualified him for some posts. The reasons why he was not appointed to others had to do with the budget, some posts being 'frozen'. Or else the reasons were administrative: for example the Appointment and Promotion Board was not in favour, or the organization gave priority to a permanent employee."

Considerations 6-8
Extract:
"The organization is [...] wrong to argue that [the complainant] has never sought reconsideration [...] of the decision setting the degree of her invalidity [...] and so has no adverse decision to impugn on that score." "It is true that as worded her original claims were not about the degree of her invalidity [...] but there is much evidence to show that the competent units of the organization did realise she was seeking review on medical grounds" "both the complainant and senior officers believed that review was on the way. [...] So it is odd to find the defendant now arguing that she had to get an express decision before seeking review".

Consideration 15
Extract:
As said in Judgments 1329 and 1368 "there is no obligation in law to align with the cost of living or with take-home pay. Though CERN must work out the pay raises fairly and objectively, with due regard to the relevant components, the methodology puts it under no obligation to match pay rises to trends in the cost of living in Geneva. That would be tantamount to indexing, and the rules do not require it."

Consideration 4
Extract:
In the light of Judgment 1368 "what [CERN] had to do was not just take new decisions untainted with the flaw the Tribunal had found but apply all the other material, procedural and substantive rules, which, having set aside the impugned decisions on the grounds of that flaw alone, the Tribunal had had no need to comment on. So any objections to the lawfulness of the decisions taken in compliance with the duty [set by the Tribunal] have a bearing on the execution of the judgment. And, as is plain from the case law - see, for example Judgments 732 [...] and 1328 [...] - the complainants did not have to go through the internal appeal procedure before coming back to the Tribunal."

Consideration 8
Extract:
The Tribunal would allow a complaint against a decision to transfer an official "if it were a hidden disciplinary sanction because there are specific procedural rules to protect a staff member when disciplinary action is taken: see for example Judgments 126, under 4 and 9, 1078, under 16, and 1407, under 18. In processing, ordering and notifying transfer an organisation must heed the staff member's dignity and good name and not cause unnecessary hardship: see Judgments 367, under 13 and 14, 631, under 27 and 28, 942, under 4, and 1234, under 15 and 19. And the decision must follow a proper enquiry: see Judgment 942, under 4."

Consideration 13
Extract:
"The abruptness of the complainant's transfer could scarcely be put down to the Organization's needs. [...] His new job was not on a par with the old one or in keeping with his qualifications. [...] The manner of it was calculated to offend his dignity, and the FAO proved inconsiderate. The conclusion is that its unlawful behaviour and the seriousness of its offence warrant redress. The letter of appreciation that the Director-General sent him on retirement will not suffice since it failed to acknowledge the unnecessary injury he had suffered."

Consideration 6
Extract:
"CERN has but one obligation under R IV 2.02: to refund taxes paid by officials 'on remuneration and benefits received from the organization'. [...] CERN is not to blame for the resulting increase in the rates of taxation of the complainants' total income. All it can do is pay back to French citizens on its staff the amounts they have paid in tax on their international earnings: it exerts control neither over the tax brackets and rates set by French law, nor over the method of reckoning their total income, which is just a feature of the French manner of processing income tax."

Consideration 10
Extract:
"Article 38(3) [...] seeks to ensure that the proposal shall go through a formal process in which the staff have a right to be consulted through the General Advisory Committee. Indeed it makes for good relations between staff and administration not just to empower but to require that body, set up under the Service Regulations to represent both sides, to give 'a reasoned opinion'. It does not matter that management may have consulted the staff on the subject in other ways. What was lacking in this case was what Article 38(3) required: the formal consultation of the General Advisory Committee and the submission of its reasoned opinion before the decision was made."

Consideration 8
Extract:
"The abolition of a post need not mean that the employee on it must go. [...] But here it is plain from the evidence [...] that the Secretary-General did look thoroughly into the possibilities of reassignment, but he found no suitable post because of the complainant's grade and because there were but few permanent posts, and even fewer that were vacant or likely to become so."

Consideration 20
Extract:
Having been denied permanent appointments, the complainants are seeking compensation failing reinstatement. The EPO pleads that the claim is irreceivable for failure to exhaust the internal remedies open to them. "The EPO fails in its preliminary objection to the complainants' claim to damages. [...] It may not refuse the complainants access to the appeal procedure on the grounds that they are 'auxiliary' staff, yet say that they ought, in what amounted to preliminary appeal [...] to have demarcated the full ambit of any future litigation."

Consideration 17
Extract:
"Although an explanation of the reasons for an administrative decision affords an essential safeguard of the staff member's rights, consistent precedent has it that the form the explanation takes will depend on the nature of the decision and the context in which it is taken. Here UNESCO is right in stating that each successive decision, from the provisional suspension from duty to the final act of dismissal, was taken in a context that the complainant was quite well aware of. The suspension came after the questioning of him by the inspectors; the dismissal after the report by the Disciplinary Committee; and the final confirmation of dismissal after the Appeals Board hearings. The text of each decision so explicitly cites the material background that he may not properly contend he was caught unawares or profess ignorance of the reasons for each decision and what it meant."

Consideration 4
Extract:
"Article VII (1) of the Tribunal's Statute requires that for a complaint to be receivable the complainant must have 'exhausted such other means of resisting a final decision as are open to him under the applicable staff regulations'. The Tribunal recognises that reasonable time must be allowed for completing the internal appeal procedure. Yet in this case [fifteen months had passed between the date of the complainant's internal appeal and the organization's response to the appeal] objections to receivability ill become the defendant".
Keywords:

Consideration 6
Extract:
"The complainant was kept waiting over sixteen months [...] for an answer to his request [...] and fifteen months for the [organisation] to file its reply [...] to his appeal [...] and so let the internal appeal procedure go ahead. The Tribunal holds that since he took all the steps he could take to obtain a final decision and since the [organisation] failed to discharge promptly its obligations under the internal procedure he was justified in coming to the Tribunal. That is in keeping with what the Tribunal ruled in, for example, Judgment 1243 [...]."

The organization wrongly told the complainant that she was not under contract after reassigning her to a post in the field following a break in service. The Tribunal concludes that the complainant had been reemployed by the organization and that "on account of [its] attitude towards her she has sustained moral injury over and above the [material] injury [that she sustained]".

The Organization did not execute the judgment ordering it to reinstate the complainant as promptly as it should have. It caused him "needless uncertaintyby requiring him to apply for vacancies and by ignoring his request for reinstatement in the vacant post of storekeeper [which he formerly held]. It thus virtually compelled him to come back to the Tribunal".

When the dispute is about financial liability the Tribunal may in the full exercise of its competence either state the amount of which the defendant is liable, if a sufficiently exact figure can be put on it, or else, where execution calls for further calculation or the play of discretion, send the case back to the organisation so that it may act on the rulings in the judgment."

Since 1982 the ESO has aligned its salary policy with that of the European co-ordinated organisations.

But so long as the present arrangements hold good, its staff are entitled to the safeguards of objectivity and stability they afford. The ESO may not remove such safeguards because of prevailing circumstances or a mere wish to do so."

"The second sentence of [Article VIII of the Tribunal's Statute] does no more than allow an alternative, to which the Tribunal may resort as it deems fit, in the particular case where there is difficulty over discharging some non-financial obligation. The reference in the article to the possibility of awarding 'compensation for the injury caused' does not preclude the Tribunal's determining, in exercise of the competence conferred by the first sentence, the financial consequences of an organisation's failure to abide by its staff regulations or to discharge its contractual obligations."
