  • Judgment 4736


    136th Session, 2023
    International Organization for Migration
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant filed an application for review of Judgment 4571.

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    The complainant also challenges the proposal of the Tribunal’s Vice-President to adjudicate her case leading to Judgment 4571 according to the summary procedure and charges the Tribunal’s Registrar with bias and prejudice towards her. The plea against the Vice-President is irreceivable as no appeal lies from procedural decisions taken by the President of the Tribunal or by any other authority thereof in exercise of the authority granted to them under the Tribunal’s Statute and Rules (see Judgment 4541, consideration 2). Moreover, the Vice-President’s proposal is merely a preparatory procedural step and, pursuant to Article 7, paragraph 2, of the Rules, it is for the panel in charge with the examination of a case to decide whether the use of the summary procedure is appropriate. As to the charges against the Registrar, he does not, in any event, adjudicate cases. It is the Tribunal which decided itself, autonomously and independently, the way it had to deal with the case.

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    The defendant sent the President of the Tribunal a letter requesting permission to confine its reply to the issue of the complaint's receivability. "For the sake of the good administration of justice [...] the President, who is authorised to direct proceedings (see Judgment 809), decided exceptionally to grant the Organization's request to confine its reply to the issue of receivability."

  • Judgment 2021


    90th Session, 2001
    International Office of Epizootics
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 21

    Extract:

    The complainant contends that the opinion of the President of the Tribunal was tainted with bias since he has the same nationality as a few of the organisation's senior officers. "This is simply unacceptable. International organisations by definition have no nationality and their officers and employees are drawn from citizens of many countries; it is the organisations and not their officers who appear as defendants in cases before the Tribunal and the nationality of the judges who hear those cases is wholly irrelevant."

    application for review; bias; nationality; president of the tribunal;

    Consideration 23

    Extract:

    "The concerns expressed by the complainant with regard to the fact that [the President of the Tribunal] and [one of the organisation's senior officers] both attended the same school and that [the President] was Director of an institute at which [another senior officer] taught are [...] without merit [...] If his opinion were to be followed, students having attended an institution should be prevented from judging cases in which the names of other students of the same institution appear."

  • Judgment 1684


    84th Session, 1998
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    "The Tribunal's rules provide ordinarily for the filing of only two briefs by each party. There are no exceptional circumstances warranting a third one from the complainant, and since the arguments in it are immaterial the President of the Tribunal has disallowed it under Article 9(6)" of the Tribunal's Rules.

  • Judgment 1641


    83rd Session, 1997
    World Intellectual Property Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    The case concerns the "general methodology" which provides the procedure for the salary surveys done under the auspices of the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC) and which permits adjustments in pay. The ICSC and the United Nations were granted leave to intervene, but the complainants object to the intervention by the UN. "Under Article 13, paragraph 3, of the Rules of the Tribunal the President may allow submissions from a third party." The Tribunal holds that it was appropriate to allow the United Nations to comment, "the aim being to make for uniform application of the rules to the organisations of the United Nations 'common system'."

    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    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."

    Order

    Extract:

    "Continuation of the suspension might [...] needlessly hold up the proceedings and cause detriment to the defendant without serving the interests of the complainant. The application accordingly fails".

  • Judgment 801


    61st Session, 1987
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 1

    Extract:

    "The complainant raises a preliminary objection to the authorisation the President of the Tribunal granted to the EPO to confine its reply to the issue of receivability. The plea fails because the President takes such a decision by virtue of his general authority to regulate proceedings before the Tribunal. Besides, the Tribunal may alter his decision at any time. There is therefore no reason why, as the complainant asks, the President should withdraw from the case."

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations 2-3

    Extract:

    "In the course of the written proceedings, the complainant applied to the President of the Tribunal for an order for the production of the report on which the impugned decision was based." Her application succeeds. "When in session the Tribunal itself will order measures of investigation, and the President has communicated the complainant's application to the Tribunal, which is holding its [...] session."
