Consideration 3
Extract:
The Tribunal’s case law clearly establishes that a complainant’s claims must not exceed in scope the claims submitted during the internal appeal process. However, a complainant is not precluded from advancing new pleas (see, for example, Judgments 4009, considerations 10 and 14, and 4066, consideration 4).

Consideration 19
Extract:
With regard to the request for exemplary damages, the complainant has provided no evidence or analysis to establish that there was bias, ill will, malice, bad faith or other improper purpose on which to base an award of punitive damages (see, for example, Judgments 4286, consideration 19, and 3419, consideration 8). Accordingly, no exemplary damages will be awarded.
