Consideration 12
Extract:
[I]t should be noted that reliance on payslips does not create an open-ended opportunity to challenge a general decision on which the payslips are based (see Judgment 3614, considerations 12 and 13).

Consideration 17
Extract:
It must be borne in mind, that the Tribunal’s role is not to evaluate independently itself the methodology and its application. These are technical issues beyond the remit of the Tribunal and its role is more limited (see Judgment 3360, consideration 4). There is no single hard and fast approach to the application of the Flemming principle and some discretion must be afforded over method (Judgment 1713, consideration 8).

[T]he failure to consult as required by [the relevant rule] cannot be excused because such consultation had not occurred for some years without complaint.

Consideration 23
Extract:
[W]hat relief can be granted by the Tribunal is governed by Article VIII of the Tribunal’s Statute that confers and defines its jurisdiction. That provision clearly contemplates that if a complainant establishes that a decision was unlawfully made, the decision can be rescinded. [H]owever, it contemplates that if the rescission of a decision is not “advisable”, then the Tribunal “shall award the complainant compensation for the injury caused to her or him”. Plainly enough following this latter course depends on the opinion and assessment of the Tribunal in the exercise of what, in substance, is a discretionary power (see Judgment 1419, consideration 24).
