Consideration 25
Extract:
The complainants "quite wittingly consented [...] to the contracts of service they were offered and were aware that, being for a fixed term ,the contracts could not run beyond the period of two years they set. [They may not] object a posteriori to an essential term of the contract, viz. its duration, in an attempt to have it converted to a permanent appointment. They have adduced not a jot of evidence to suggest that the organisation acted in any but its own legitimate interests either when the contracts were made out or when they came to an end."

Considerations 16-17
Extract:
The material issue is whether abolition of the entitlement to a step increase for long service infringed an acquired right by interfering with a fundamental term of service that led the complainants to accept employment. "The Tribunal holds that the prospect of increases in emoluments after 20, 25, 30 and 35 years of satisfactory service was too remote to influence seriously the mind of the ordinary applicant in deciding to accept appointment [within the organization]".

Consideration 7
Extract:
The complainant objects to the grade she got when she took up her appointment. The Tribunal observes that the vacancy notice stated that the post could be filled at that grade. "She accepted the offer, before being actually appointed, both by her answer to [the organisation's offer] and by signing the letter of appointment. She thereby surrendered her right to challenge ex post facto any clause of the contract of service which she freely consented to and which was the prerequisite of her becoming a Eurocontrol official.

Consideration 8
Extract:
The complainant pleads that he had been promoted from grade G.7 to P.2 "even though he was drawing the post allowance. It is immaterial whether or not the conditions in which he was granted the allowance met the requirements of Regulation 3.8: suffice it to observe that he acquiesced and amply reaped the benefit for most of the period during which he received the allowance. So the Tribunal cannot allow his plea that he was promoted."

Extract:
The complainant changed categories. "[T]he fall in the complainant's earnings is due to factors which are beyond the Union's control inasmuch as they derive from the [United Nations] common system. The ITU was under no duty to reverse a decision which the complainant had consented to and which, until 1991 at any rate, was to his financial advantage."

Consideration 7

Consideration 7
Extract:
"The Tribunal reaffirms that its rulings have the force of res judicata and are binding on the organisations that have recognised its jurisdiction. Any organisation that offends against that rudimentary principle by refusing to give effect to judgments it does not care for is disregarding the rights of staff and its own interests and is acting in breach of the obligations that it has assumed by recognising the Tribunal's jurisdiction."

"The complainant seeks an order cancelling his resignation, which the organisation accepted.

"An official's acceptance of the regulations and rules does not preclude his arguing that some provision of them is discriminatory as it affects him. If the organization's argument were sustained, no staff member would be free to challenge a rule. The complainant is entitled to found his case on the plea of discrimination even though in the event it proves unsuccessful."

Considerations 12-13
Extract:
The complainant was transferred against his wishes to a post at a lower grade, D.1, but kept grade D.2 on a personal basis. The Tribunal confirms what it said in Judgment 631 about staff Rule 570 on reduction in grade. That provision - which says that reduction in grade may result (1) from the staff member's own request, (2) from unsatisfactory performance or misconduct or (3) as an alternative to termination in a reduction inforce - applies even when the staff member keeps his own grade on a personal basis. "The organization may not require a staff member to move to a post at a lower grade against his wishes, however generous the financial compensation, unless there is compliance with Rule 570."

Summary
Extract:
After retiring from the Organization the complainant returned under a contract as a consultant. The letter of acceptance he signed indicated that he was being recruited locally. He argues that as a Swedish citizen whom the WHO contacted in Stockholm he was entitled to non-local status and the payment of a daily subsistence allowance. The Organization submits, rightly, that in putting his signature to the contract he accepted the terms of the offer.

Consideration 4
Extract:
If the complainant laid claim to payment of the per diem allowance he should have said so before signing the offer of appointment; the Organization would then have had the opportunity of maintaining or amending the terms of its offer. The complainant might have been entitled to claim the allowance if he had not signed a contract that expressly excluded it; but as it was he was bound by the terms of appointment to which he put his signature. He had, after all, spent 25 years in the service of the WHO, during which, moreover, he had gained experience of personnel matters, until he retired in 1985. It is therefore not open to him to plead unawareness of the consequences of his acceptance.

Consideration 3
Extract:
The complainant, who joined CERN as a fireman, was transferred from a night-shift post to one confined to day work. The offer of the new post said that staff who gave up shift work could be compensated for loss of the shift allowance at digressive rates over three years. The Director- General decided to grant him compensation over a period of only one year. The Tribunal sets the decision aside on the grounds that "an offer of appointment holds good until it is withdrawn or accepted in good faith and without qualification, when it amounts to a contract."
