    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 12

    Extract:

    The complainant is seeking material and moral damages. The Tribunal observes that she made no such claim during the internal appeals proceedings and holds that her claim "is irreceivable under Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute because she has not exhausted the internal means of appeal."

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    The complainant "has neither asked for review of [the impugned decision] nor lodged an internal appeal against it. So she has not exhausted the internal means of redress which were available to her, and her complaint is [...] irreceivable under Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute."

    Consideration 13

    Extract:

    "According to the case law - see for example Judgment 607 [...] under 8 - though the rules on internal appeals must be respected because proper administration so requires, 'they are not supposed to be a trap or a means of catching out a staff member who acts in good faith'."

    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 11

    Extract:

    "It is true that Article VII(1) of the Statute provides that a complaint will not be receivable unless the complainant has exhausted such other means of resisting the decision as are open to him under the applicable Staff Regulations. But it is plain from the case law that the Tribunal construes that article to mean that when a complainant has done all that is required of him to get a final decision, yet the proceedings appear unlikely to be concluded within a reasonable time, he may appeal directly to the Tribunal".

    "The complainant seeks an order cancelling his resignation, which the organisation accepted.

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration

    Extract:

    "This complainant does not impugn any final decision. [It] is therefore clearly irreceivable, and the Tribunal dismisses it as such in accordance with the summary procedure provided for in Article 8(3) of the Rules of Court."

    76th Session, 1994
    Universal Postal Union
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    The complainant submits that the Union failed to execute in full an earlier judgment in which the Tribunal gave him satisfaction. The UPU says that he failed to exhaust the internal means of appeal. The Tribunal holds that his application for interpretation "is receivable because the parties disagree on how to combine [two points of the ruling in the material judgment], only the Tribunal itself may resolve the issue, and there was no need to follow any internal appeal procedure beforehand".

    International Labour Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 8

    Extract:

    The complainant is objecting to a decision to put in her personal file several performance appraisals which she alleges were drawn up in breach of the established procedure and contained "libellous comments". The ILO says that she refused to submit any comments of her own on the reports and thereby prevented the review procedure from moving ahead. "The requirement that a complainant go through any internal procedure is not just a formality. [...] By refusing to [make] comments on the draft reports she is challenging the complainant failed to avail herself of the means at her disposal to have the reports withdrawn or altered. Her complaint is therefore irreceivable under Article VII(1) of the Statute."

    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    "According to the case law - see, for example, Judgment 435 [...] - the rule that the complainant must have exhausted the internal remedies means, first, that his complaint must rest on the same essential facts as his internal appeal and, secondly, that his claims must not be wider than those he put forward in that appeal."

  • Judgment 1263


    75th Session, 1993
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations 2-3

    Extract:

    The organization contends that one of [the complainant's] claims is irreceivable for failure to exhaust the internal means of redress. It observes that neither did he make a written protest on that score or an appeal to the Appeals Board. The claim was not even mentioned in the cause of the original proceedings which led to an earlier judgment of the Tribunal on a case also brought by the complainant. He does not deny that he made no internal appeal but merely asserts that it was discriminatory and unlawful not to grant him satisfaction. "So his complaint is indisputably irreceivable under this head."

    Keywords:

    claim; internal appeal; internal appeals body; internal remedies exhausted; judgment of the tribunal; receivability of the complaint;

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    "His claim to material damages for failure to distribute [a circular] is made for the first time in this complaint and did not form the subject of prior appeal to the Director-General. It is irreceivable because he has failed to exhaust the internal means of redress."

  • Judgment 1259


    75th Session, 1993
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations 3-4

    Extract:

    The complainant objects to the non-renewal of his contract. The organization says his complaint is irreceivable. It does not deny that he sent a memorandum challenging the decision but argues that his internal appeal was not properly presented since he did not submit it to the Director-General himself. "That objection fails because the memorandum was correctly addressed to the Director of the Bureau of personnel, whom he asked to convey to the administration his decision to appeal. So it was incumbent on the Director to forward it to the Director-General."

  • Judgment 1256


    75th Session, 1993
    Universal Postal Union
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    The complainant asked the Director-General to review his decision to reject his application for a vacant post after the expiry of the one month delay for filing of an internal appeal. He wants the Tribunal to acknowledge the exceptional character of his case as justifying an extension of the normally applicable time limit. "According to precedent a complainant may not be deemed to have exhausted the means of redress at his disposal within the organisation unless he has followed the prescribed internal procedure for appeal and in particular observed the time limits. So if his internal appeal was out of time his complaint to this Tribunal will also be irreceivable under Article VII(1)."

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    To escape the time bar the complainant relies on UPU Staff Rule 111.3.4, which allows the Joint Appeals Committee to waive the time limit in exceptional circumstances. "As the Union observes, the time limit which the Committee may waive is not the one in 111.3.1 - the one month for submitting a request for review to the Director-General - but only the one for appeal to the Committee against the decision rejecting such request." The complaint is therefore irreceivable.

  • Judgment 1244


    74th Session, 1993
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 1

    Extract:

    The meaning of Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute is, according to the case law, "that a complainant must not only have gone through any internal appeals procedure within his organisation but duly complied with the requirements of the rules on that procedure. Thus, if the internal appeal was irreceivable under those rules, the complaint to the Tribunal will also be irreceivable under Article VII(1)."

    Consideration 16

    Extract:

    "According to the case law, where a complainant does everything necessary to get a final decision but the appeal proceedings appear unlikely to end within a reasonable time, he may go to the Tribunal. Rulings to that effect are to be found, for example, in Judgments 451 and 499."

    Consideration 5

    "The letter [...] from the head of administration was plainly CERN's answer to his internal appeal [...]. On the issue of notice it is therefore a final decision and meets the requirements for receivability in Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute."

    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 9

    Extract:

    The complainant seeks the quashing of her dismissal for reasons of health. Such dismissal, she maintains, was wrong unless her incapacity was total. The claim "is receivable because several times she sought the quashing of her dismissal and put the matter to the Appeals Board. Though she did withdraw several appeals that were before the Board she never expressly waived her objections to dismissal."

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    The defendant maintains that the complainant did not meet the two-month time limit for lodging appeals and failed to exhaust the internal means of redress. The Committee was of the view that, in this case, exceptional circumstances warranted waiving the time limit and allowing the appeal. The defendant contends that the Committee's decision was not binding on the Agency. "Only where the Committee's appraisal of the circumstances is flagrantly wrong or based on plainly mistaken facts may the Director General disregard it, and even then his decision will be subject to review by the Tribunal."
