  23rd Session, 1970
  Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
  Extracts: EN, FR
  Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

  Consideration 1

  Extract:

  "[A]lthough the complainant's post-traumatic impairment was assessed at only 30 per cent by the Medical Board, his total incapacity for work is entirely attributable to the accident [...] and all other factors must be excluded. The complainant is accordingly entitled to the annual compensation payments laid down by [the applicable provision], i.e. to two-thirds of his final remuneration calculated on the basis of that provision."

  Consideration 1

  Extract:

  Keywords:

  definition; incapacity;
  

  Consideration 4

  Extract:

  "The conversion of annual compensation payments to a lump sum payment as provided for under [the applicable provision] is justified only in cases of permanent incapacity. As the Medical Board considers that the complainant's condition is capable of improvement his claim for conversion is not well founded."

  Consideration 1

  Extract:

  "[E]ven if the [...] injury would normally result in incapacity of only 30 per cent, it does not follow that the complainant's claim for compensation for total incapacity is unfounded. On the contrary, he would be entitled to such compensation if no factor other than the accident appears to have caused the recognised incapacity."

  Consideration 3

  Extract:

  "The Medical Board did not find that the complainant was permanently incapacitated for work and did not rule out the possibility that he might be able to resume some kind of work in the future. In these circumstances the organization must retain the right to review the complainant's case from time to time and to adjust the compensation due to him in the light of any changes."

  Consideration 1

  Extract:

  The experts found that "the complainant was wholly incapable of exercising the profession of engineer for which he had been trained and which he had carried on for a number of years [neither party claims that] the complainant would be able to engage even partially in any activities comparable to those of an engineer. In these circumstances the complainant must be regarded as totally incapacitated for work within the meaning of the applicable provisions."

  Consideration 5

  Extract:

  "The compensation annuity awarded to the complainant for total incapacity for work covers all damage to his health. There can therefore be no question of awarding him additional compensation for the loss of any particular faculty or organ."

• Judgment 88

  
  15th Session, 1965
  World Health Organization
  Extracts: EN, FR
  Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

  Consideration 3

  Extract:

  "It is not inconceivable that an official might be so deeply affected by the termination of his appointment as to fall ill and to become incapacitated for work for a certain length of time. In the present case, however, the complainant could in any event have expected the termination of his appointment [at the end of the probationary period] and [...] failing quite exceptional circumstances, he had no grounds for maintaining that his dismissal led to the deterioration of his health and to incapacity for work after that date."
