Considerations
Extract:
"The Tribunal already deplored in Judgment No. 11 [...] the absence of regulations laying down the conditions of employment of [...] officials [of branch offices]; [...] it is regrettable that such regulations have still not been drawn up and that consequently there are no rules of positive law" governing the matter. It does not follow that such officials should be exposed to arbitrary action by the Director-General.

"The decision taken by the Director-General [...] was preceded by a referral to the Board of Inquiry and Appeal competent to advise [him] ; [...] the opinion given by the said Board in no way binds the Director-General and even if the Board had the right to modify certain time limits no complaints can be laid against the Board for not having exercised such option; [...] it was for the Director-General to appreciate whether the opinion as formulated sufficed as a basis for his decision."

Alleging the inferior quality of the complainant's work, the organization failed by way of exception to give her preferential treatment when implementing staff reductions.

Considerations
Extract:
The Director-General based his decision on the provision empowering him to dismiss at any time a probationer whose services are deemed unsatisfactory on condition that the reasons for the decision be given in writing. The internal appeals body believed that the provision on the interests of the organization afforded a further possible justification for the measure. The director confirmed the decision. "At that stage [...] a change of grounds would have vitiated the procedure".

Considerations
Extract:
"The discretionary power of the Director-General in this matter cannot be exercised for reasons not clearly specified [...] He cannot invoke one reason for exercising his powers when in reality his action is based on another reason since this would constitute misuse of power likely to lead to rescission of the decision."
