Judgment 4796
137th Session, 2024
European Patent Organisation
Extracts: EN,

Full Judgment Text: EN,
FR
Summary: The complainant challenges the decision to deduct from the amount of the education allowance paid in respect of his child the remuneration received by the latter during an internship.
Consideration 12
Extract:
[A]n order for the interest in question to be compounded, as requested by the complainant, is not appropriate. Following the practice developed by the Tribunal through its case law, the interest to be added to certain monetary awards is, in principle, simple interest, compound interest being awarded only in exceptional circumstances (see, in particular, Judgments 4235, consideration 15, 3013, consideration 3, and 802, consideration 4). There are no special circumstances in the present case to justify an order for compound interest.

Summary: The complainant filed an application for interpretation of Judgment 4215.
Consideration 9
Extract:
The Tribunal [...] points out [...] that [...] the interest to which its awards are sometimes subject must be understood as simple interest and not – unless there is an express indication to that effect in the decision in the judgment concerned – as compound interest (see Judgments 802, consideration 4, 3013, consideration 3, and 4235, consideration 15).

Summary: The complainant filed an application for interpretation and execution of Judgment 4093.
Consideration 15
Extract:
[A]s the case law shows, the Tribunal awards simple interest as a rule; it awards compound interest only in exceptional circumstances, in which case it explicitly states so in the decision of the judgment concerned (see Judgment 802, consideration 4, or, more recently, Judgment 3013, consideration 3).

Summary: The complainant filed an application for execution of Judgment 3689.
Consideration 8
Extract:
WHO is required to pay the complainant interest on arrears as ordered by the Tribunal in Judgment 3689. It should be recalled in this regard that such interest simply represents an objective form of compensation for the time that has elapsed since the date on which the principal amount was due, and that the mere fact that there was a delay in the payment of that amount is sufficient to justify payment of interest, whether or not the debtor was at fault (see, for example, Judgment 1403, consideration 8).

Summary: The complainant contests the refusal to pay her interest on reimbursement of medical costs.
Consideration 7
Extract:
[T]he breach of a duty to consider and process a claim within a reasonable period would not be founded on an implied right to interest but rather, arguably, should be regarded as damages for the breach of the duty. However, those damages may well prove to be an amount equal to the interest payable on the amounts involved.

Keywords:
complaint dismissed; interest on damages; medical expenses;
Consideration 6
Extract:
Plainly enough, [...] the right to payment of medical expenses arising under Article 16 is conditioned by the consideration of any claim for payment by the organisation of whether the medical expenses incurred were reasonably incurred, which would include the consideration of any evidence furnished supporting a conclusion that they were reasonably incurred. Thus the right to payment of medical expenses cannot be said to be a right to an immediate payment of the claimed amount. Accordingly there is no room for the implication of a right to interest either from the time the medical expense was actually paid by the staff member or from the time the staff member lodged a claim for reimbursement.

Consideration 3
Extract:
"The obligation to pay compound interest is always an exception. According to the Tribunal's case law, such an obligation must arise from the operative part of its judgments. In this case, to quote the language of consideration 4 of Judgment 802, "if the Tribunal had meant compound interest, [...] it would have used words to that effect"."

European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation

Consideration 6
Extract:
In order to execute Judgment 2560 the Organisation paid salary arrears not only to the officials who had filed the complaints that led to that judgment, but also to all other members of staff and to all former members of staff in receipt of a retirement pension. However, interest on arrears was paid only to the members of staff who had filed a complaint with the Tribunal; the complainant was not among them. He is consequently challenging the decision not to pay him interest on arrears.
"(a) In the absence of any particular rule requiring the Organisation to pay interest on arrears to a staff member where a benefit due to that person is paid belatedly, such interest is not in principle due until the creditor - i.e. the staff member to whom the benefit is owed - has served notice on the Organisation to pay. This apparently harsh solution is justified because no particular formalities are required for the service of such notice, it being sufficient for the creditor to request payment of the amount due. [...]
(b) However, this rule does not apply where the debt is one which falls due on a fixed date. In such a case the due date is equivalent to the service of notice (dies interpellat pro homine). The debtor owes interest on arrears as from that date, without any need for the creditor to establish that he or she has requested payment of the due sum. The same applies where the debt falls due periodically at a fixed date, as in the case of a salary.
The salary adjustment at issue forms an integral part of the salary. Moreover, the salary, plus increments, is due on precise dates at the end of every month. In the instant case the payment of the staff member's salary, including the adjustment thereto, did not depend on a request from that person. The claim for interest on arrears is therefore well founded."

Consideration 10
Extract:
The complainant was promoted with retroactive effect. "The complainant claims interest on the amounts the organization owes him. [Since it] agreed to promote him to G.5 with retroactive effect to 1 September 1997 [...] it should have paid him each month from that date the salary and entitlements corresponding to grade G.5. He is therefore entitled to interest, which the Tribunal sets at 8 per cent a year on those monthly earnings from each due date as from 1 September 1997."

Consideration 7
Extract:
The complainants impugn decisions refusing them an allowance. The Tribunal considers that "since the decisions are set aside the complainants are also entitled to payment of the interest on arrears that they claim. Interest on arrears is due by virtue of the principle of equal treatment [...]. The principle lays on the organisation the duty to pay such interest so as to restore parity between someone who got [an] allowance at the due date and someone who got it later."

Extract:
Having placed a liberal construction on the applicable rule, Eurocontrol granted certain clerical officers payment of the so-called typist's allowance. This established a practice which remains in force until such time as a decision is taken to amend or abolish it. "Payment of the allowance to the complainant was a matter, not of discretion, but of obligation, and Eurocontrol's delay in discharging it entitles her to interest."

Consideration 18
Extract:
The complainant was accused of stealing computer equipment but no formal proof of this was ever given. The organization decided not to renew his fixed-term appointment on grounds of theft. The Tribunal holds that the complainant "must be put in the same position as if his contract had never terminated and be reinstated as from the date of termination up to the date of this judgment. Since his performance was good he should be granted any within-grade salary increases he would ordinarily have been entitled to. Although any indemnities or earnings from employment after termination may be deducted from the amounts due, he is entitled to the payment of interest on all arrears of pay at the rate of 8 per cent a year from the dates at which each component sum fell due. [...] He is to be granted an appointment for a period of two years starting at the date of delivery of this judgment."

Considerations 11-12
Extract:
"An organisation must, where a specific sum has been awarded [by the Tribunal], pay compensation if it takes more than one month to pay after the judgment was notified, save that if, as in Judgment 1219, the Tribunal does not put a figure on the amount due, the need to work out the figure warrants allowing additional time. In this instance [...] apart from alleging the need for consultations the Organization has offered no explanation for the delay in payment. The Tribunal therefore awards the complainant payment of interest".

Considerations 19-20
Extract:
The complainants seek payment of interest on the arrears paid them after applying revised weightings. The Tribunal stresses that "Article 64 [of the Staff Regulations] confers wide discretion on the administration in determining whether there is good reason to adjust pay and what factors to bear in mind for the purpose. It has to make comparative assessments in working out the weightings, and so the figures it arrives at are bound to be lump-sum approximations [...] So there can be no specific amount due, and yielding interest, until the competent authority has reached its decision."

Consideration 18
Extract:
Following a periodic review of the weightings applicable to pay, the complainants were paid arrears on the strength of the revised weightings. They claim interest on those amounts on the grounds that the method for adjusting pay contains a built-in delay. The plea fails. "The system of period adjustment according to criteria applied a posteriori means that any action taken will perforce be retroactive. [...] Adjustment is a continuous process over any given period, and it is reasonable to regard the figures that are taken at the end of that period as properly applying to the whole of it."

"The ILO further submits that, having made no award of interest, the Tribunal may be deemed to have declined to do so. The plea is mistaken. To allow it would be to infer legal effect from the Tribunal's refusing or failing to rule. That would be quite wrong since there can be no implied decision to dismiss a claim when dismissal is not the necessary outcome of the judgment."
