Judgment No. 295
Decision

Considerations
Extract:
"The [organisation] was willing to sign the contract with the complainant as early as 1 October [...] the postponement to 21 October was due entirely to the attitude of the complainant, who of his own accord and for personal reasons delayed coming to [headquarters] [...] the [organisation], which did its utmost to have the complainant's contract ready by 1 October, was not to blame for any delay and was not at fault. The complainant alone was responsible for postponement of the signing of his contract to 21 October and on no grounds whatever can he properly claim any compensation in respect of the period prior to his appointment."
