1. THE IMPUGNED DECISION IS SET ASIDE. 2. THE CASE IS REFERRED BACK TO THE ITU FOR REVIEW. 3. THE ITU SHALL PAY HIM 2,000 SWISS FRANCS IN COSTS.
Consideration 11
Extract:
"For want of other evidence the Tribunal cannot but conclude that the consultation required by the order [laying down the procedure to be followed when the reclassification of a post is requested] never took place. The requirement of an on-the-spot evaluation is not met by just taking note of the staff member's application: there must be a meeting and discussion with him on any points it may raise"
