  • Judgment 4780


    137th Session, 2024
    International Telecommunication Union
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant contests the monthly amount deducted from her pension as contribution to her after-service health insurance in the period from May 2001 to December 2019.

    Consideration 9

    Extract:

    With regard to the [organisation]’s counterclaim for costs, the Tribunal considers that, although the complaint was obviously misconceived and the language used by the complainant in her submissions to the Tribunal is highly inappropriate, the [organisation] has not sufficiently established that the complaint is vexatious or frivolous (see, for example, Judgments 4726, consideration 14, and 3672, consideration 6). The [organisation]’s counterclaim for costs will be dismissed.

  • Judgment 4665


    136th Session, 2023
    International Criminal Police Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant, whose post was reclassified retrospectively, claims compensation for the injury he considers he has suffered and requests that his resignation be redefined as a dismissal.

    Consideration 11

    Extract:

    [T]he complainant requests the Tribunal to order the deduction from the various monetary awards made to him of an amount “corresponding to the fees and taxes” which he has undertaken to pay to his counsel, and to order that this amount be paid directly to the latter.
    However, the Tribunal is not competent to make an order of this nature, which relates to the private contractual relationship between the complainant and his counsel (see, in particular, Judgments 4541, consideration 13, and 4072, consideration 21).

    International Fund for Agricultural Development
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant challenges the decision not to notify her of the outcome of the investigation into her internal complaint of moral harassment, the decision not to send her the full report drawn up following that investigation, and the decision not to inform her of the outcome of her internal complaint.

    Consideration 13

    Extract:

    The complainant’s counsel requests that an amount corresponding to the fees and taxes which the complainant has undertaken to pay him be deducted from any monetary awards made to her and that such amount be paid to him. However, it is not for the Tribunal to concern itself with private arrangements made between complainants and their counsel (see Judgment 4072, consideration 21).

    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant contests the decision to abolish the Joint Commissary Committee.

    Consideration 10

    Extract:

    Given that the complainant succeeds on this central issue, he will be awarded 1,000 euros in costs, as the Tribunal cannot award it to the AP-in-FAO to whom he requests it be paid. Indeed, the AP-in-FAO is not a party to the case.

    Consideration 8

    Extract:

    Rule 9 of the Board of Appeal’s Rules of Procedure provides that “[t]he [a]ppellant may [...] be represented by outside legal counsel, which shall be at the [a]ppellant’s own expense”. This provision is clear and allows no room for reimbursement of legal fees.

    Summary: The complainant challenges the decision not to shortlist him for the position of General Counsel.

    Consideration 8

  • Judgment 4257


    129th Session, 2020
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant challenges his staff report for 2014.

    Consideration 19

    Extract:

    The substance of the relief sought concerning the 2014 staff report is that it be set aside and removed from the complainant’s personal file. That has already happened, but well after the complaint was filed, by administrative action. No orders to this effect need be made. However the complainant has succeeded in the sense that some of his arguments have been accepted. Accordingly he is entitled to his costs. In the unusual circumstances of this case, the complaint should be dismissed but an order for costs made in favour of the complainant.

    129th Session, 2020
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainants challenge decisions taken by the President of the Office following a recommendation of the Internal Appeals Committee.

    Consideration 9

    Extract:

    [T]he complainants may have incurred costs in filing complaints against a decision which was presented to them as a final decision that could be impugned before the Tribunal. As the withdrawal of the impugned decisions was not caused by the complainants but by the way in which the EPO interpreted its rules, the complainants may be entitled to costs (see Judgment 2853, considerations 6 to 8). Such costs should be considered in the resumed internal appeal proceedings.

    129th Session, 2020
    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant, a former staff member of the World Food Programme, challenges the decision to maintain the decision not to renew his contract, and to award him material and moral damages instead of reinstatement.

    Consideration 8

    Extract:

    The complainant seeks 5,000 euros in costs. The FAO opposes this request on the ground that as the complainant is represented by the Legal Officer of the Association of Professional Staff whose function is funded by the FAO, an award of costs would amount to double payment of legal fees. As the complainant has not disputed this, the Tribunal will award no costs.

  • Judgment 4222


    129th Session, 2020
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant challenges the refusal of UNESCO to award full compensation for the injury suffered as a result of an accident recognized as being service-incurred.

    Consideration 20

    Extract:

    The complainant’s counsel requests the Tribunal to deduct certain amounts for his benefit from the monetary awards made to the complainant. However, it is not for the Tribunal to concern itself with private arrangements made between complainants and their counsel (see Judgment 4072, consideration 21). This request must therefore be rejected.

    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainants challenge the rejection of their requests for an agreed separation.

    Consideration 15

    Extract:

    [T]he requests for costs for the internal appeals are unfounded. There is no provision which allows for an award of legal costs for the internal appeal proceedings and there are no exceptional circumstances in these cases which could justify such an award.

  • Judgment 4217


    129th Session, 2020
    International Fund for Agricultural Development
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant challenges the decision not to provide her with the record of the investigation that ensued after she filed a harassment complaint against her supervisor, and the fact that she received no compensation for the moral harassment that she claims to have suffered.

    Consideration 12

    Extract:

    [T]he Tribunal considers that there are no grounds for awarding costs in respect of the internal appeal proceedings. Such costs may only be awarded under exceptional circumstances, which do not exist in the present case.

    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant filed an application for review of Judgment 3932.

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    As to the award of costs, the complainant’s disagreement with the amount of the award is not a ground on which a judgment is subject to review.

  • Judgment 4162


    128th Session, 2019
    United Nations Industrial Development Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant challenges the final decision on her claim for compensation for a service-incurred injury or illness.

    Consideration 23

    Extract:

    It is [...] observed that the obvious and ordinary meaning of “sustained” in the context of a decision is to uphold or affirm the earlier decision. The ordinary meaning of “sustained” does not include a decision that alters the prior decision. However, the same provision provides that if “the Director-General alters his original decision in favour of the claimant” the Organization bears the identified costs. The language of the provision is clear and unambiguous. If the drafter of the provision had intended that the claimant would bear the identified costs in the event that the original decision was altered to her or his detriment it would have been explicitly stated.
