  • Judgment 1227


    74th Session, 1993
    United Nations Industrial Development Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    The complainant is challenging a report submitted by the Joint Appeals Board. "The report [...] plainly does not constitute a final decision within the meaning of the UNIDO Staff Regulations and Staff Rules. The complaint is therefore irreceivable under Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute."

    Reference(s)

    ILOAT reference: ARTICLE VII(1) OF THE STATUTE

    Keywords:

  • Judgment 1221


    74th Session, 1993
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    "It is plain on the evidence that the bureau of personnel told the complainant that the Director-General would be willing to waive the Appeals Board's jurisdiction [under UNESCO Staff Rule 111.2(b)] if she so wished, that she expressly agreed to the suggestion, and that she formally sought and was granted waiver by the Director-General." So the complainant appealed directly to the Tribunal "in full freedom".

    World Health Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    "The complaint is irreceivable because the decision impugned is not a final one: the complainant has failed to exhaust the internal means of redress, in breach of the requirement in Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute."

  • Judgment 1181


    73rd Session, 1992
    International Criminal Police Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    The complaint raises a question of receivability. Under Article 43 (1) of the Staff Regulations an internal appeal must be lodged within thirty days of the date on which a decision was notified. The complainant pleads that he made a material mistake by reading the thirty days as one calendar month. "Time limits for internal appeals must be strictly complied with. The complainant failed to abide by the Staff Regulations, and the mistake he supposedly made is irrelevant because the organization did not seek to mislead him. Since he has not exhausted the internal means of redress, his complaint is irreceivable under Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute."

    European Organization for Nuclear Research
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 7

    Extract:

    "The conclusion is that in substance [the complainant's] letter [...] amounted to a request for further information and explanation on a matter the parties had been discussing for years. If his intention was to lodge an appeal under Chapter VI of the Staff Rules he ought to have used language more in keeping with that of an appeal. In any event, on receiving CERN's reply [...] he ought to have applied for referral to the Appeals Board, which [...] is not just a formality. Had he applied for such referral the ambiguous wording of his letter might have been treated as just an oversight, and had the organization turned down his claims it might have been held that he had exhausted the internal means of redress as Article VII(1) the Tribunal's Statute required him to do."

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

    Consideration 4

    Extract:

    "According to the case law, the scope of claims to the Tribunal may not go beyond that of the claims that formed part of the internal appeal, since any claim that goes further is barred under the rule in Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute that the complainant must have exhausted the internal means of redress."

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    "The complainant's claim to reinstatement is irreceivable under Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute because it has not formed part of any internal 'complaint' from him under Article 13.2 of the Staff Regulations and he has therefore failed to exhaust the internal means of redress."

    Consideration 17

    Extract:

    "According to Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute a complaint shall not be receivable unless the official has exhausted such other means of resisting it as are open to him under the applicable staff regulations. The purpose is twofold: the official should first avail himself of any opportunities he may have within the organisation for obtaining redress; then, if he presses his case, the Tribunal should have at its disposal full records on the administrative handling of the dispute."

    Consideration 4

    Extract:

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    "The case law makes it clear that time limits in rules on internal appeals must be strictly adhered to. The complainant did not comply with the requirements of the Service Regulations. Nor can he show any breach of good faith on the organisation's part. His complaint is therefore irreceivable under Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute because he has failed to exhaust the internal means of redress."

    71st Session, 1991
    European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 16

    Extract:

    "The complainants took the view that according to the principle of equal treatment embodied in the Staff Regulations, they were entitled not only to arrears of pay but also to interest thereon. They were free to conclude that the competent authority had, to quote Article 92(2), 'failed to adopt a measure prescribed by the Staff Regulations' and that they therefore had the right to appeal directly to the Tribunal against the refusal of their claims." The conclusion is that without submitting a 92(1) claim to the Director General they did exhaust the internal means of redress.

    Consideration 15

    Extract:

    "According to Article 92 of the Staff Regulations the gist of the internal appeal procedure is that before lodging an internal complaint the staff member shall submit his grievances or claims to the administration to enable it to take a decision. That is what the complainants did since Eurocontrol had the opportunity of stating its position." The organisation's objections to receivability on the grounds that the complainants did not exhaust the internal means of redress by putting their claims to the Director General as provided by Article 92(1) fails.

    71st Session, 1991
    International Labour Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    "By the date of filing [his first complaint], 15 March 1990, the complainant had lodged with the organisation one request for review under Article 13.1 of the Staff Regulations and another under Paragraph 15 of Circular 334 [on personal promotion]. Only afterwards, on 2 April, did he file an internal 'complaint' under Article 13.2. So he has failed to exhaust the internal means of redress as Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute requires him to do." The first complaint is irreceivable.

    European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 4

    Extract:

    The fact "that the measure under challenge affects several groups of staff and is therefore general in purport [...] does not in itself make the complaints irreceivable: decisions do not need to be individual to be challengeable before the Tribunal. As Article VII(2) of the Tribunal's Statute makes plain, a general decision too is challengeable. That article sets the time limit for filing a complaint against 'a decision affecting a class of officials', in other words a general decision. Yet that does not mean that a complaint challenging any sort of general decision will necessarily be receivable: there is also the rule in VII(1) that the internal means of redress must have been exhausted."

    Summary

    Extract:

    On 15 March 1990 the complainant's counsel wrote to the Director-General asking him to grant her the benefit of termination on abolition of post. In its reply of 29 March CERN indicated that the matter was being examined. The complainant filed her complaint on 21 May 1990 under Article VII(3) of the Tribunal's Statute. As no rejection of her claim be inferred in the circumstances of the case, the complaint is premature.

    Extract:

    "Article VII of the Tribunal's Statute says that a complaint shall not be receivable unless the decision impugned is a final one and such remedies as are available under the applicable Staff Regulations have been exhausted.

    Extract:

    "According to Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute a complaint shall not be receivable unless the impugned decision is final, the complainant having exhausted the means of redress available to him under the staff regulations.
