"Any authority is bound by the rules it has itself issued until it amends or repeals them. The general principle is that rules govern only what is to happen henceforth, and it is binding on any authority since it affords the basis for relations between the parties in law. furthermore, a rule is enforceable only from the date on which it is brought to the notice of those it applies to."

Consideration 7
Extract:
WHO Manual provision II.2.430.2 was amended so as to restrict the possibility of having adopted blood relatives treated as dependants. The complainant submits that the amendment infringed an acquired right. The Tribunal held that "the right which the amendment removed cannot be deemed to have constituted any essential part of the complainant's terms of appointment, and the allegation of breach of an acquired right is therefore unsound."

Article R II 4.35 of the ESO Staff Regulations, which provides that "the first period of home leave shall be granted during the second year of service and the subsequent periods every alternate year thereafter", is deemed by the Tribunal to mean that "the right to home leave is confined in every case to a single year, i.e. the second, fourth and each succeeding even-numbered year of service."

Consideration 12, Summary
Extract:
The complainant was dismissed for misconduct. The organization submits that the complainant took home leave without going to his home country, the one which treats him as its citizen. The Tribunal held that the complainant was in breach of the letter and spirit of the rules: "Though the rules do allow rerouting, it must not be more than a minor change in travel arrangements."

"Article 64(6) of the Service Regulations reads: 'The remuneration of the permanent employees shall be subject to periodic review and shall be adjusted by the Administrative Council taking account of the recommendations of the Co-ordinating Committee of government budget experts of the co-ordinated organisations'. Though the definition puts the EPO under no specific obligation it does reflect an intention of not letting EPO pay get out of line with the broad trend in national civil services, and that is the rule of thumb followed by the Co-ordinating Committee."

Consideration 8
Extract:
"The purpose of the [expatriation] allowance is [...] to meet the case where the employee has no affinity with the country of his duty station. Although the employee who is a citizen will ordinarily have such affinity, 72[3] [of the Service Regulations] recognises that residence abroad for at least ten years before appointment will break it. But it is only reasonable to require that the residence abroad be continuous because any interruption of it will restore the affinity."

His complaint is therefore receivable insofar as he is suing in his own name."

Consideration 6
Extract:
The complainant wants the Tribunal to make recommendations on how to interpret certain provisions in the rules. "Besides stating his claims in vague and general terms the complainant is not seeking the quashing of any decision but mere recommendations in the form of advice to be commended to some unidentified person or authority. The Tribunal may neither give an advisory opinion nor rule on a dispute in which no breach of the terms of appointment or of the Staff Regulations is alleged. For that reason the claims are irreceivable."

Consideration 7
Extract:
The claims are irreceivable because "they are a pointless attempt to get review of decisions that the Tribunal ruled on in Judgments 732 and 733. [...] [The complainant is] pleading misinterpretation of the text, and that would be a mistake of law, which is not an admissible reason for reviewing a text that carries the authority of res judicata."

Consideration 7
Extract:
"Suspension is temporary repeal: while in force it makes the text void. What distinguishes it from repeal is that it is not final, its purpose being to provide against some temporary contingency, and it need only be lifted for the text to come into force again. But repeal is final and once a text has been repealed the law-maker has to adopt a new one to bring the provisions back into effect."

Consideration 10
Extract:
Article 3.1.1.2 of the ILO Staff Regulations provides for periodic adjustments to pensionable remuneration. The application of this regulation was suspended effective 1 April 1985. The complainants argue that the absence of an adjustment on 1 April 1986 breaches their acquired rights. "The complainants say they cannot put a figure on the loss sustained but they submit a table showing losses that range from 13 to 39 per cent according to grade. The table does not distinguish between loss due to the measures of which the Tribunal was informed in the earlier proceedings - and which it declared lawful - and loss alleged to be due to the failure to revise the scale on 1 April 1986. So in any event the Tribunal cannot but endorse its ruling in Judgment 832 under 16." The complaints are dismissed.

Summary
Extract:
The complainant, a national of the Federal Republic of Germany, was initially appointed to The Hague, where he received an expatriation allowance; he was then transferred to Berlin where he no longer received the allowance. The complainant contends that he is still entitled to the allowance under Article 72[3] of the EPO Service Regulations since, even though a national of the country in which he is serving, he had been continuously resident in another State for at least 10 years at the time of appointment. The complainant takes the expression 'at the time of their appointment' to mean at the date of transfer. The interpretation is without merit. The complaint is dismissed.

Consideration 7
Extract:
As a result of the adoption of a new scale of pensionable remuneration, Article 3.1.1 of the ILO Staff Regulations was amended. "The complainants' case does not rest on breach of any term of their contracts or of any provision of the Staff Regulations. What they are saying is that as applied to them Article 3.1.1 of the Regulations impairs their acquired rights. Their complaints will therefore be receivable if the application of 3.1.1 does cause them injury."

Consideration 14
Extract:
"The first [test] is the nature of the altered term. It may be in the contract or in the Staff regulations or Staff Rules or in a decision, and whereas the contract or a decision may give rise to acquired rights the Regulations and Rules do not necessarily do so. The second test is the reason for the change. It is material that the terms of appointment may often have to be adapted to circumstances, and there will ordinarily be no acquired right when a rule or a clause depends on variables such as the cost-of-living index or the value of the currency. Nor can the finances of the body that applies the terms of appointment be discounted. The third test is the consequence of allowing or disallowing an acquired right. What effect will the change have on staff pay and benefits ? And how do those who plead an acquired right fare as against others?"

"The Tribunal will [...] consider [...] whether the purpose or even the mere effect of the rule is to put some members of the staff at a severe disadvantage.
