Considerations
Extract:
In May the complainant made known his intention to appeal against the transfer. The Director-General replied that he was willing to refer the matter to the Joint Committee. In August the administration said the Director-General, who was absent, had received a recommendation to that effect. In September it told the complainant that the matter would be put to the Committee. "These shifting attitudes, which in the end came to nothing and spanned four months, constitute exceptional circumstances and warranted a direct complaint to the Tribunal."

Consideration 4
Extract:
The complainants appealed to the internal board and then, without awaiting the outcome of the proceedings, to the Tribunal. By applying directly to the Tribunal "the complainants [...] obviously had no intention of abandoning their appeal; their wish was to expedite the hearing. As a matter of procedure they made a mistake in asking for the case to be withdrawn, but the situation was unprecedented and it was one to which the inactivity of the organization had contributed. A procedural error should not in this instance be held against the complainants."

Consideration 5
Extract:
"The organization's medical officer [...] who examined the complainant [...] delayed [...] reporting in writing to the personnel office and it is true that the administrative process is open to criticism on that account, even supposing that because of doubts over the case he decided [...] to telephone [...] the complainant's own doctor [...]. But the administrative delay does not in itself constitute a flaw which warrants quashing the decision."

Consideration 3
Extract:
The complainant's "grievance, though justified, is without effect. The Tribunal cannot but deplore any undue protraction of the appeal proceedings, which is to the prejudice of the organization as well as of the complainant. But it cannot criticise the actual transfer without due regard to the lawfulness of the decision. Besides, the complainant's plea carries the less weight in that he himself was partly to blame for the delay."

Consideration 8
Extract:
"The rule that a complaint shall be receivable only if the internal means of redress have been exhausted is not a hard and fast one even though the Statute does not allow any derogation from it. If a complainant does all in her power to procure a decision and if nevertheless the internal appeals body either by its statements or by its conduct evinces an intention not to give a decision within a reasonable period, justice requires that an exception should be made. [...] When the delay is inordinate and inexcusable, such an intention can be inferred."

Consideration 1
Extract:
Assurances were allegedly given that the complainant's temporary contract would be replaced by a fixed-term contract. This was done later than expected and the complainant suffered some financial loss. However, he does not prove that the assurance he allegedly received was anything more than an expression of hope and belief.

Consideration 7
Extract:
"The complainant [...] had to wait six months for his promotion. It is immaterial whether the long and futile delay was the fault of any PAHO body. All that need be said is that it was entirely due to the way in which PAHO bodies worked and that the organization should make good the wrong by transferring the complainant with effect from the date on which he ought normally to have been transferred [...]. The organization shall [...] pay the complainant the difference between the sums due and those actually paid to him [...] and shall correct his personnel records accordingly."

Consideration 3
Extract:
"Doubtless [the internal appeals body] showed the organization too much forbearance. [...] Yet the evidence casts no doubt on its willingness to hear the appeal before it. [...] While the complainants were lodging their complaints with the Tribunal the [Appeals] Board was on the point of giving a decision. In the circumstances there are no grounds for allowing any derogation from the rule that the internal means of redress shall have been exhausted."

Consideration 9
Extract:
The Tribunal "will [...] take account [...] of the material and moral prejudice which the complainant suffered because of the extraordinary dilatoriness of the internal appeal proceedings: the [organization] took an inordinately long time to file its memoranda and reach its final decision and was therefore partly to blame for the delay."
Keywords:
administrative delay; internal appeal; material injury; moral injury; negligence; organisation;
Consideration 9
Extract:
It is impossible, several years having elapsed, to determine the precise consequences of the organization's negligence. In view of the existing reservations, it is justified to award the complainant compensation ex aequo et bono. Because of the apparent reluctance of the complainant to seek employment outside the organization and the uncertainty of the effects of the organization's negligence, the Tribunal is inclined to award rather modest damages. But account must also be taken of the material and moral prejudice caused by the inordinately long internal appeal proceedings.

Consideration 1
Extract:
The chairman of the Appeals Committee having indicated that the proceedings were suspended, the complainant filed his complaint. Subsequently, the Director-General accepted the recommendation of the Committee and dismissed the appeal. "A party should not suffer prejudice from acting on even the mistaken suggestion of an appeals body. Having followed the suggestion in the chairman's letter, the complainant cannot be taken to task for acting too soon and failing to file his complaint again after [...] the [...] decision."

Considerations
Extract:
"[T]here can be no claim in respect of currency devaluation as such." But there can be a claim for compensation for the delay in payment. "In the circumstances of [the] case this compensation should be assessed as the diminution in the amount of rupees eventually received by the complainant, the diminution being due to the change in the rupee/dollar rate during the period of delay."

Considerations
Extract:
Judgment No. 195 ordered the payment of US $20,000 in respect of moral and material damage. The period comprising the delay in payment began one month after the notification of the judgment and ended on the date of payment. "The amount of compensation should be ascertained by taking the difference between the rates as quoted on the international exchanges on these two dates."

Consideration 3
Extract:
The complainant deplores delays in the internal procedure. "The sanction for the violation of [the provision on internal appeals] is contained in that rule itself: an official who receives no reply to his complaint before the prescribed deadline is entitled to appeal [...] the complainant exercised that right and therefore suffered no injury." The material delays are no proof of prejudice.

Consideration 2
Extract:
The complainant objects to the organization's failure to disclose certain documents until after the internal appeals procedure was under way. "It has not been established that either of these documents in any way influenced the decision to terminate the complainant's appointment. The alleged delay in producing them did not therefore constitute a violation of his right to be heard."

Consideration 10
Extract:
The complainant "is entitled to an indemnity compensating him for the damage he has suffered through the delay on the part of [the organisation] in giving effect to [...] the operative part of the [...] judgment [in question]." It emerges from the dossier that this damage will be equitably remedied by deciding that the sum which the organisation must pay - and the amount of which had been fixed by order - shall bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent, payable as from the thirtieth day after notification of the said order.

Consideration 1
Extract:
The complainant's submissions aimed at remedying the damage suffered through the delay on the part of the organisation in giving effect to the part of the judgment in question. They "thus bear upon the rights devolving directly from this judgment, delivered within the bounds of the competence of the Tribunal. The Tribunal is therefore competent to examine the new complaint [...] and, in particular, to judge whether it is appropriate to award compensation to remedy the damage caused by an infringement of those rights."

Considerations
Extract:
"[I]nsofar as the request for revaluation of the franc is concerned, general principles do not allow the acceptance of this request as formulated, but it is uncontested that the delay in paying the sums to which the Complainant was certainly entitled has caused her definite and considerable prejudice[.] [I]n addition to the moral prejudice resulting from the anxiety and suffering to which she was exposed, [the complainant] had to provide for her needs [...] in more and more burdensome economic conditions; and she had, moreover, to provide for the defence of her rights with the reduced means at her disposal".

Consideration 9
Extract:
"[T]he delay in paying the sums due, the extremely painful changes in economic conditions [during the war], and the need for [the complainant] to provide for his defence, justify, quite apart from any consideration relating to the changes in the purchasing power of the franc, the allocation of compensation under the heading of damages".
