Considerations 4-5
Extract:
According to the Tribunal’s settled case law – which, contrary to what the complainant submits in his application for interpretation of Judgment 4568, was not reversed in Judgment 3271, to which he refers – and as was recalled in Judgment 4568, consideration 3, an application for interpretation is receivable only if the meaning of the judgment concerned is uncertain or ambiguous to such an extent that the judgment cannot be executed (see, for example, Judgments 4409, consideration 6, 3984, consideration 10, 3822, consideration 5, and 3014, consideration 3). Moreover, under Article 6, paragraph 5, of the Tribunal’s Rules, such an application can ordinarily concern only the decision contained in a judgment, and not the grounds thereof. Indeed, it can concern the grounds of the judgment as well only if the decision refers to them explicitly so that they are indirectly incorporated in the decision (see aforementioned Judgments 4409, consideration 6, 3984, consideration 10, 3822, consideration 5, and also Judgments 3564, consideration 1, 3271, consideration 4, and 2483, consideration 3). The Tribunal notes that these requirements are set out at the beginning of the form used to file an application for interpretation.
In this case, the decisions in Judgments 4568, 4569 and 4584 are respectively worded as follows: “[t]he application for interpretation is dismissed”, “[t]he application for review is dismissed” and “[t]he complaint is dismissed”. Contrary to the complainant’s submissions, their meaning is not at all ambiguous or uncertain and therefore does not require interpretation by the Tribunal. The complainant’s arguments in support of his applications, which are in reality directed against the grounds of these judgments, are irrelevant and must be rejected.

Ordinarily it is the words, and only the words, of the orders in the decision that are the subject of interpretation if they are uncertain or ambiguous. However, in circumstances where the orders themselves refer to and thereby incorporate statements made in the reasons (typically by reference to a specified consideration or considerations) then the relevant parts of the reasons are treated as incorporated, by reference, into the orders.

Keywords:
application for interpretation; complaint dismissed;
Considerations 3-4
Extract:
According to the Tribunal’s case law, and as recalled in Judgment 4567, consideration 3, an application for interpretation is receivable only if the meaning of the judgment concerned is uncertain or ambiguous to such an extent that the judgment cannot be executed (see, for example, Judgments 4409, consideration 6, 3984, consideration 10, 3822, consideration 5, and 3014, consideration 3). Moreover, ordinarily such an application can concern only the decision in a judgment, and not the grounds thereof. It is, however, accepted that it may additionally concern the grounds if the decision refers to them explicitly so that they are indirectly incorporated in the decision (see aforementioned Judgments 4409, consideration 6, 3984, consideration 10, and 3822, consideration 5, and also Judgments 3564, consideration 1, 3271, consideration 4, and 2483, consideration 3). The Tribunal notes that these requirements are actually set out at the beginning of the form used to file an application for interpretation.
Given that the arguments put forward by the complainant in relation to Judgment 4567 refer exclusively to the grounds thereof and seek to criticise their content, whereas the decision in that judgment – stating that “[t]he application for interpretation is dismissed” – makes no reference to them, those arguments are irrelevant under the aforementioned case law. In addition, contrary to the complainant’s assertions, that decision, worded as just indicated, is not at all uncertain or ambiguous and therefore does not require interpretation by the Tribunal.

Keywords:
application for interpretation; application for review; complaint dismissed;
Consideration 9
Extract:
The complainant’s application for interpretation of Judgment 4074 is misconceived. An application for interpretation raises for consideration the meaning of the decision contained in a judgment and potentially its legal effect (see Judgments 4409, consideration 6, 3822, consideration 5, and 3014, consideration 3). In exceptional cases (and this case is not such a case) such an application can concern the grounds of the judgment as well but only if the decision refers to them explicitly so that they are indirectly incorporated in the decision (see Judgments 4567, consideration 3, 3564, consideration 1, and 2483, consideration 3). In the present case the orders actually made were clear and unambiguous. No occasion arises for their interpretation.

Keywords:
application for interpretation; complaint dismissed; summary procedure;
Considerations 3-4
Extract:
According to the Tribunal’s case law, and as was recalled in Judgment 4567, also delivered in public today, an application for interpretation is receivable only if the meaning of the judgment concerned is uncertain or ambiguous to such an extent that the judgment cannot be executed (see, for example, Judgments 3014, consideration 3, 3822, consideration 5, 3984, consideration 10, and 4409, consideration 6). Moreover, such an application can ordinarily concern only the decision in a judgment, and not the grounds thereof. Indeed, it can concern the grounds of the judgment as well only if the decision refers to them explicitly so that they are indirectly incorporated in the decision (see Judgments 2483, consideration 3, 3271, consideration 4, 3564, consideration 1, and also aforementioned Judgments 3822, consideration 5, 3984, consideration 10, and 4409, consideration 6). The Tribunal notes that these requirements are actually set out at the beginning of the form used to file an application for interpretation.
The complainant’s arguments concerning Judgment 4440 focus entirely on its grounds, whereas the decision in that judgment – stating that “[t]he application for review is dismissed” – makes no reference to them. These arguments are therefore irrelevant under the case law recalled above. Moreover, the meaning of the decision in Judgment 4440, worded as indicated above, is not at all ambiguous or uncertain and therefore does not require interpretation by the Tribunal.

According to the Tribunal’s case law, an application for interpretation is receivable only if the meaning of the judgment concerned is uncertain or ambiguous to such an extent that the judgment cannot be executed (see, for example, Judgments 3014, consideration 3, 3822, consideration 5, 3984, consideration 10, and 4409, consideration 6).

The Tribunal notes
that these requirements are actually set out at the beginning of the form used to file an application for interpretation.
The complainant’s criticisms relate principally to the grounds of Judgment 4370 whereas the decision in that judgment – stating that “[t]he complaint is dismissed” – makes no reference to them. His criticisms are therefore irrelevant under the case law recalled above.

Summary: The complainant filed an application for interpretation of Judgment 4215.
Consideration 12
Extract:
[I]t appears that, by this application, the complainant is not so much seeking, as he submits, a clarification of the meaning of the judgment in question – which is entirely unnecessary – as to obtain an increase in the amount of the awards made in his favour. Plainly, an application for interpretation cannot seek to lead the Tribunal to amend its original judgment.

Under the Tribunal’s case law, ordinarily an application for interpretation can concern only the decision contained in a judgment and not the grounds therefor. It is, however, accepted that such an application may additionally concern the grounds if the decision refers to them explicitly so that they are indirectly incorporated in the decision (see Judgments 2483, consideration 3, 3271, consideration 4, 3564, consideration 1, 3822, consideration 5, or 3984, consideration 10).
Furthermore, an application for interpretation will be receivable only if the meaning of the judgment concerned is uncertain or ambiguous to such an extent that its execution is impossible (see, for example, Judgments 1306, consideration 2, 3014, consideration 3, and also aforementioned Judgments 3271, consideration 4, 3822, consideration 5, and 3984, consideration 10).

Considerations 3-5
Extract:
It should be noted that OTIF, by a decision adopted by its Administrative Committee at its session on 27 and 28 June 2017 and notified by its Secretary General to the Director-General of the International Labour Office (ILO) by a letter of 17 January 2018, has withdrawn its recognition of the Tribunal’s jurisdiction.
In accordance with the Tribunal’s case law, as set out in Judgments 1043, consideration 3, and 4141, considerations 2 to 4, that withdrawal took effect on the date of the deliberation of the Governing Body of the ILO taking note of the decision in question, which in the present case took place on 13 March 2018.
Although the Tribunal had jurisdiction to rule on the complaint that gave rise to Judgment 4215, which had been filed before that date and which OTIF had expressly excluded from the scope of its withdrawal decision, since that date, the Tribunal has no longer been competent to hear new complaints against that Organisation.
However, it must be considered that, where, as in this case, the Tribunal has delivered a judgment on a complaint against an international organisation which has since withdrawn from the Tribunal’s jurisdiction, it nevertheless remains competent to hear any applications for interpretation of that judgment. The Tribunal is, by definition, the only body capable of interpreting its judgments, should that be necessary. For similar reasons, the Tribunal also remains competent to hear applications for execution or review that may be brought in respect of a judgment delivered in the same circumstances.
Notwithstanding the date on which it was filed, this application does therefore fall within the Tribunal’s jurisdiction, and it is noted that the Organisation does not raise any objections on this point in its reply.

Consideration 4

In the usual course, an application for interpretation concerns only the meaning and thus effect of the decision (and the orders contained therein) unless there has been an incorporation of a consideration into that decision (see Judgment 3822, considerations 4 and 5). In this case, there has been such an incorporation.

Summary: The FAO has filed an application for interpretation of Judgment 4065.
Judgment keywords
Keywords:
application for interpretation; complaint dismissed;
Considerations 6-8
Extract:
In its application for interpretation, the FAO states that while it notes that the five points of the decision in Judgment 4065 are expressed in clear terms, it became apparent from the exchanges of correspondence between the parties (referred to in the foregoing considerations) that they have differing views regarding what the decision requires them to do. This, it states, is because “there appears to be some ambiguity as to what actions are required as a consequence of Point 1 [of the Decision], having regard to Consideration 8 of the Judgment”, on which it requests the Tribunal’s guidance.
The FAO is entitled to apply for the interpretation of consideration 8 of Judgment 4065 as it has done in this instance as, according to the Tribunal’s case law, as stated, for example in Judgment 3984, consideration 10, although ordinarily an application for interpretation can concern only the decision contained in a judgment, it may additionally concern the grounds if the decision refers to them explicitly so that they are indirectly incorporated in the decision. In this instance, point 2 of the decision in Judgment 4065 incorporated consideration 8 of Judgment 4065. The critical question is whether the application is receivable. As the case law further states, in the said consideration 10 of Judgment 3984, such an application is receivable only if the meaning of the judgment concerned is uncertain or ambiguous to such an extent that the judgment cannot be executed.
The application for interpretation is irreceivable. Consideration 8 of Judgment 4065 is clear and unambiguous. [...] It is not within the Tribunal’s purview to provide an advisory opinion or guidance concerning the steps that are to follow the discussion or what should happen if events unfold in a certain way. The Tribunal reiterates that both the FAO and the complainant must approach the implementation of its order in point 2 and the analysis contained in consideration 8 of Judgment 4065 in a rational, sensible and balanced way, and, as a paramount consideration, do so lawfully (see Judgment 3989, consideration 5).

Consideration 3
Extract:
According to the Tribunal’s case law, an application for the interpretation of any aspect of a judgment will not be receivable where the judgment is clear and unambiguous and the application is merely filed “to obtain an opinion on a legal issue, to obtain a reply from the Tribunal to a question that it was not required to address in the context of the judgment to which the application relates, or to circumvent an internal procedure in which disputes regarding the execution of the judgment could be resolved in accordance with the adversarial principle” (see, for example, Judgment 3014, under 3).

Extract:
Point 2 [of the decision] would not be ambiguous merely because the parties subjectively may not agree on its meaning or effect, as the complainant suggests. Objectively, point 2 of the decision in Judgment 3879 is clear and unambiguous. It means that, the Tribunal having set aside the complainant’s 2011 PACE appraisal report and ordered its removal from his file, it is not to be taken into account as a valid PACE appraisal report affecting any decisions or actions concerning the complainant.
