Consideration 7
Extract:
The complainant submitted a 'complaint' to the Director-General long after expiration of the time limit set by the applicable provisions. "He cannot therefore be deemed to have exhausted the internal means of redress provided in the Staff Regulations, and his present complaint is irreceivable."

Consideration 6
Extract:
The complainants contend that the organisation had been in continuous breach of its obligations by failing to safeguard their enjoyment of entitlements they had before a specific date. They therefore allege that the organization acted unlawfully since that date. "The impugned decision therefore recurred right up to the date of the internal appeal, and that appeal was in time. The internal means of redress must be deemed to have been exhausted even though the Board did not go into the merits."

Consideration 7
Extract:
In this case, "the Board's further comments and the Director-General's further approval did not alter a whit the previous comments and decision. Being mere confirmation, they set off no new time limit for filing a complaint. The complaint is irreceivable because" the time limit for filing it had expired.

Extract:
"Even if the letter [...] had been written without authority, the decision therein would not cease to exist on that account. [...] Provided a communication takes the form of a decision its lawfulness is immaterial to the reckoning of the time limit for lodging an appeal. To hold otherwise would impair the stability of the parties' position in law, which is the purpose and indeed the whole point of a time limit."

Consideration 2
Extract:
The internal appeal lodged by the complainant was time-barred. Thus, "he has failed to comply with the provisions of Article VII of the Statute of the Administrative Tribunal, which require that he shall have exhausted such other means of resisting the impugned decision as were open to him under the applicable Staff Regulations."

Considerations
Extract:
The applicable provision requires compensatory leave to be taken within two months of the date of accrual. "Indeed it is difficult to see how leave can be compensatory if it is taken at a time far remote from the period when the overtime was performed. [...] The complainant has retired from the [organization] and it is not now possible to grant compensatory leave to him. [...] The only solution is for the WHO to pay the complainant the difference in overtime rates".

Summary
Extract:
The complainant's submission of an internal appeal was time-barred; for not having correctly followed the internal procedure, her complaint is irreceivable. The discovery of an allegedly unlawful decision does not affect the time limit for internal appeal. The only exception is where the organisation has misled the complainant in breach of good faith.

Consideration 4
Extract:
The organisation contends that the complainant, who knew that his contract had expired, had no reason to expect to be notified of its non-renewal. He should therefore have challenged the decision not to renew, which was implicit in the expiry of his appointment, in time. "To allow [the organisation's] plea would enable its competent officers to resolve to deal with such questions only if they thought fit. That would make for an increase in the number of claims dealt with ex gratia on the grounds that they had not been lodged on expiry of the appointment, and so administration would become arbitrary."
Keywords:
contract; fixed-term; internal appeal; non-renewal of contract; receivability of the complaint; start of time limit; time bar; time limit;
Consideration 5
Extract:
On questions of principle, the Tribunal holds that "a staff member whose fixed-term appointment has expired may not be declared out of time so long as his former employer has not informed him of the non-renewal. Normally, the non-renewal will be an explicit decision. Only where a staff member has expressly applied for renewal will rejection of his application be implied on the expiry of the time limits set".

Consideration 8
Extract:
"To determine whether the internal means of redress were exhausted the Tribunal must consider whether the time limits set in the Statutes of the Appeals Board were observed. [...] Proper administration requires the setting of time limits. But they are not supposed to be a trap or a means of catching out a staff member who acts in good faith."

Consideration 3
Extract:
The complainant's "later discovery that the administration's decision might have been unlawful does not affect the time limit, which is an objective matter of fact and starts on the date on which the impugned decision was notified. Any other conclusion, even if founded on considerations of equity, would impair the stability of the parties' position in law, which is the purpose and indeed the whole point of setting a time limit. The only exception is where the organisation has misled the complainant and is therefore in breach of good faith."

Consideration 2
Extract:
"According to Article VII[1] of the Statute of the Tribunal a complaint will not be receivable unless the means of redress provided by the Staff Regulations have been exhausted. To fulfil this condition it is not sufficient to address an appeal to the internal appeal bodies; the internal appeal must be submitted in time." In this case, the prescribed time limit was not respected. "Accordingly, the internal appeals procedure was not correctly followed, and the [...] complaint is irreceivable."

Extract:
"The Tribunal's judgments have the authority of res judicata. An [...] organisation [...] is therefore bound [...] first and foremost to take whatever action the judgment may require. That the judgment must be both respected and executed are thus principles which are beyond dispute, and they apply, in particular, where the organisation is ordered to pay a sum of money. The debtor's obligation to pay must as a rule be discharged immediately unless the judgment states that the sum shall be payable only at some later date."

Considerations
Extract:
The time limit for submitting an internal appeal had long since expired when the complainant appealed to the Appeals Board. "The acceptance of his resignation had by then become final and was no longer open to challenge. His involvement in a serious accident [...] did not have the effect of suspending the time limit. The Director therefore correctly applied the rules in dismissing the appeal which the complainant addressed to him against the decision [to reject the internal appeal as being time-barred and therefore irreceivable]."

Consideration 3
Extract:
To infer a decision to dismiss where no final decision has been taken within the sixty days would greatly broaden the scope of Article VII, paragraph 3, particularly when the internal appeals body has no set time limits. "In such case Article VII[3], which is presumably to be treated as covering the exception, would in fact become the rule. Moreover, to broaden the scope of paragraph 3 would unduly restrict that of paragraph 1, which requires the complainant to exhaust the internal means of redress."

Consideration 2
Extract:
Insofar as a provision of the Service Regulations purports to provide that failing a decision by the President on an internal appeal within two months, a complaint may be duly filed with the Tribunal, "the provision must be treated as invalid because this is a matter of procedure which only the Tribunal's own Statute and Rules of court can settle."

The declaration of recognition mentioned in Article II, paragraph 5, of the Statute of the Tribunal "recognises not only the Tribunal's competence but also the applicability of its Rules of court. An organisation which makes such a declaration accepts the provisions of the Statute and the Rules of court, and any provisions in its own rule book on the receivability of complaints filed with the Tribunal are of no effect, whether they comply with the Tribunal's rules or not."

"Although the complainant took over eleven years to file a claim, it will not be declared time-barred in the absence of an express time limit. The time bar extinguishes obligations, and its existence will not be presumed: it must be expressly prescribed. [...] The sole consequence of the delay in lodging the claim is that proof is more difficult; but the matter is one of fact, not of law."

"Article VII[1] does not lay down an absolute rule. A complainant may abandon the internal proceedings even before a decision is taken and may appeal directly to the Tribunal when the appeals body fails to report and there is no reason to suppose from the evidence that it is likely to do so within a reasonable period. But it must be quite clear from the evidence that there is no decision, and only in quite exceptional cases will the Tribunal find that the condition is met."

Consideration 2
Extract:
The complainant's first claim was rejected. In his reply to the second, which was based on the same cause of action as the first, "the Director, who had carried out no further inquiry, merely confirmed his earlier position. The [second] decision [...] was therefore purely confirmatory in character and did not give rise to any new time limit." As the time limit was not extended, the appeal is time-barred.
