Judgment 3506

Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria
Extracts: EN,

Full Judgment Text: EN,

Summary: The complainant challenges the refusal of some of her requests for the defrayal of medical expenses.
Consideration 4
Extract:
"Notwithstanding th[e] withdrawal of suit, the Fund insisted on pursuing the proceedings, as it wished to claim costs against the complainant on the grounds that the complaint was vexatious.
Without ruling out, as a matter of principle, the possibility of making such an order against a complainant (see, for example, Judgments 1884, 1962, 2211 and 3043), the Tribunal will avail itself of that possibility only in exceptional situations. Indeed, it is essential that the Tribunal should be open and accessible to international civil servants without the dissuasive and chilling effect of possible adverse awards of that kind. In the instant case, the aforementioned complaint cannot be regarded as manifestly vexatious, even though it was clearly irreceivable because internal remedies had not been exhausted. The Fund’s counterclaim will therefore be dismissed."

Consideration 8
Extract:
"The Tribunal will not accept the defendant organisation’s objection that, in view of the withdrawal of the first complaint, the complainant is effectively barred from lodging another complaint raising substantially the same issues. […] It is plain that neither the withdrawal of suit itself nor the res judicata authority of this judgment by which the withdrawal is recorded precludes the filing of the second complaint in question."

Extract:
[T]he pursuit of internal appeal procedures when a complaint has already been filed with the Tribunal will ordinarily constitute an implied withdrawal of the complaint.

Consideration 5
Extract:
The Tribunal recalls that it has the inherent power to impose costs on a complainant. But it specifies that it will only exercise this power in exceptional circumstances. "In the present case, it is clear that a full withdrawal of suit would have been desirable once Judgment 1864 had upheld the rules [at issue]. However, neither the fact that the complainant filed his complaint later than his colleagues, nor his failure to reply to the invitation made by the legal services to withdraw suit in the week following [...] can be considered as constituting abuse. The Tribunal finds that in the circumstances, this is not one of the exceptional cases in which it could penalise the filing or maintenance of a complaint as being abusive. It therefore dismisses the EPO's counterclaims."

Consideration 8
Extract:
"The complainant asks the Tribunal 'to declare itself not neutral to give a judgment in this complaint because of the Tribunal's involvement (and especially of its members) in the Judgements 1041, 1296, 1297 and 1333.' The claim is not acceptable. The Tribunal will entertain each case that comes before it [...]. Besides, by lodging this complaint the complainant has acknowledged the Tribunal's competence to hear it. If he does not want the Tribunal to rule on his case, his remedy is to withdraw suit. He has not done so."

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."

The organisation finds fault with the complainant's withdrawal. "When a complainant withdraws suit the Tribunal will not look into his reasons for surrendering his claims. The present withdrawal is unqualified and the Tribunal will simply record it."

Order
Extract:
"The President may direct proceedings and even if not expressly so empowered may order suspension. Since a complainant may withdraw a complaint he may also apply for suspension. Such application will succeed unless the advantage to the complainant of suspending the proceedings is outweighed by the advantage to the defendant of pursuing them."

Considerations
Extract:
"UNESCO, which has been informed of the withdrawal, alleges that the complainant has acted for purely tactical reasons in filing a complaint he described as urgent and then withdrawing it. It asks the Tribunal not to record the withdrawal but to hear the complaint and declare it irreceivable. When a complainant withdraws suit the Tribunal will not look into his reasons for surrendering his claims."
