European Patent Organisation
Extracts: EN,
FR
Full Judgment Text: EN,
FR
Summary: The complainant challenges the decision not to extend her fixed-term contract.
Consideration 4
Extract:
In a case such as the present, the complainant bears the burden of establishing her case (see, for example, Judgment 4381, consideration 31, and the case law cited therein). She has singularly failed to do so.

Summary: The complainants challenge their classification in the new career structure established following the 2015 five-yearly review.
Consideration 5
Extract:
The Tribunal notes that these arguments, which do not appear to have been raised in the internal appeal proceedings, are, for the most part, set out in the section of the written submissions presenting the facts of the case. It is not therefore clear whether the complainants wish to raise them as pleas challenging the lawfulness of the general decision of the Council of CERN [...].

Judgment 4181

International Criminal Court
Extracts: EN,
FR
Full Judgment Text: EN,
FR
Summary: The complainant contests the failure by the ICC to complete his performance appraisal in conformity with the applicable statutory provisions.
Consideration 4
Extract:
The complainant asks the Tribunal to refer to and consider the submissions he made in his second complaint and to grant the remedies he sought therein. The Tribunal will not grant these remedies. It has stated on a number of occasions that it is inappropriate to effectively incorporate by reference into the pleas before it the arguments, contentions and pleas found in other documents, often a document created for the purposes of internal review and appeal (see, for example, Judgment 3920, under 5). This case law also applies in situations where a complainant refers to documents filed in other proceedings before the Tribunal.

Summary: The complainant contests the decisions to end her participation in the reassignment process and to terminate her fixed-term appointment further to the abolition of her post.
Consideration 2
Extract:
[T]he Tribunal will only have regard to the pleas contained in the complainant’s brief and rejoinder to the Tribunal and will disregard any pleas incorporated by reference to documents created for the purposes of internal review and appeal (see, for example, Judgment 3951, consideration 6).

Summary: The complainant challenges the decision not to accept for consideration on the merits her compensation claim for service-incurred injury.
Consideration 5
Extract:
In her pleadings the complainant did not contest any of the HBA’s findings of fact or law, or any of its conclusions based on those findings. In fact, in relation to the HBA’s report, except for two unfounded allegations of minor factual errors footnoted in the brief and another also unfounded allegation in the body of the brief, there is no discussion of the content of the report in the pleadings. In her complaint, the complainant reiterates the submissions made in the internal appeal and, in effect, seeks a de novo consideration by the Tribunal of the merits. However, this is not the Tribunal’s role. The Tribunal’s role is to determine whether the decision impugned in the complaint involves a reviewable error.

Summary: The complainant challenges the decision not to award him damages for the alleged leaking of confidential information concerning him.
Consideration 6
Extract:
[I]n his brief, the complainant attempted to incorporate by reference his pleading in the internal appeal process. The Tribunal has on many occasions stated that it is not acceptable to incorporate by reference into the pleadings before the Tribunal arguments, contentions and pleas contained in documents created for the purposes of internal review and appeal (see Judgment 3920, under 5, and judgments cited therein). Accordingly the Tribunal did not have regard to those documents.

Summary: The complainant challenges the decision to reject her claims for compensation for service-incurred injury or illness.
Consideration 6
Extract:
The Tribunal has stated on a number of occasions and recently with increasing frequency that it is inappropriate to effectively incorporate by reference into the pleas in the Tribunal, arguments, contentions and pleas found in other documents, often a document created for the purposes of internal review and appeal (see, for example, Judgments 3692, consideration 4, and 3434, consideration 5). In this matter, the Tribunal will only have regard to pleas in the complainant’s brief and rejoinder and will disregard any additional, supplementary or other pleas in documents annexed to the brief or rejoinder.

Full Judgment Text: EN,

Summary: The complainant accuses his former supervisor of moral harassment.
Consideration 3
Extract:
UNESCO submits that the complaint is irreceivable on the grounds of its lack of intelligibility. [...] The Tribunal agrees with the Organization that both the structure and the drafting of the complainant’s submissions might have been clearer. However, the complaint is sufficiently intelligible to enable the other party to identify its essential purpose and the main pleas on which the complainant relies. The content of UNESCO’s reply demonstrates, moreover, that it was able to understand fully the complainant’s claims and pleas.
Following the practice it has developed through its case law dealing with this issue, the Tribunal will hence dismiss this objection to receivability (see, for example, Judgments 3298, under 16, or 3616, under 1).

In this matter, the Tribunal will only have regard to arguments in the complainant’s brief and rejoinder and will disregard any additional or other arguments in the Request for Resolution.

International Criminal Court

Full Judgment Text: EN,
FR
Summary: The complainant challenges the decision to terminate her appointment.
Consideration 7
Extract:
The complainant’s arguments in her brief are detailed though discursive. They traverse some matters which are beyond the competence of the Tribunal which include, in particular, arguments in support of her request that the Tribunal make an order and recommend investigations into the conduct of certain individuals said to have engaged in corrupt conduct. However the Tribunal has endeavoured to glean, from the complainant’s pleas, her arguments that are relevant to the question of whether the impugned decision was tainted by error that might warrant orders of the Tribunal in the complainant’s favour.

Summary: The complainant, who held a fellowship contract at EMBL, challenges the rejection of his request to be paid unemployment benefits following his separation from the organization.
Consideration 6
Extract:
While it appears that the complainant was less than forthcoming in some instances in his pleadings, in the circumstances, the EMBL’s request for costs will not be granted.

Summary: The complainant challenges her 2007 performance appraisal report.
Consideration 4
Extract:
The grounds on which the complainant seeks to impugn the decision [...] are obscured by the fact that she incorporates by reference, and relies on, the pleas advanced in her second complaint. This is not an acceptable way to articulate arguments advanced in subsequent proceedings (see, for example, Judgments 3692, consideration 4, and 3434, consideration 5).

Summary: The complainant challenges the decision to dismiss her allegations of harassment.
Consideration 30
Extract:
[T]he Tribunal recognizes that while it should not happen, an erroneous statement in a pleading may occur due to inadvertence. However, inadvertence cannot account for the complainant’s multiple mischaracterizations of events and statements in reports in her pleadings. Additionally, the expression of overt hostility is disrespectful and has no place in pleadings.
