  • Judgment 5179


    141st Session, 2026
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant challenges the decision to reject his request to access his complete medical file and contests the validity of the internal appeals proceedings.

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    "It is established in the Tribunal’s case law that the executive head of an international organization, “when taking a decision on an internal appeal that departs from the recommendations made by the appeals body, to the detriment of the employee concerned, must adequately state the reasons for not following those recommendations” (see Judgments 4855, consideration 8, 4700, consideration 4, 4545, consideration 4, and 4062, consideration 3). This is not the case here. The majority opinion of the Appeals Committee was not favourable to the complainant; rather, the impugned decision departed from it in the complainant’s favour. In these circumstances, the decision-making authority was under no obligation to provide reasons for deviating from the appeals body’s opinion, and the complainant, therefore, has no interest in raising this issue."

    Summary: The complainant challenges the new calculation of his pension entitlements following the implementation of reduction coefficients compensating for salary increases.

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    After the filing of the present complaint, on 16 June 2022, Eurocontrol adopted an express decision on the complainant’s internal complaint of 5 March 2020. In the 16 June 2022 decision, the Director General, endorsing the opinion expressed by the Joint Committee for Disputes at a meeting held on 19 November 2020 and signed on 6 December 2021, rejected the complaint as “inadmissible and subsidiarily unfounded”.
    The complainant was permitted by the Tribunal to comment upon this new decision, and, on 25 July 2025, he submitted further written submissions whereby he contested the opinion of the Joint Committee for Disputes and reiterated, in essence, the pleas contained in his brief.
    The Tribunal observes that the complainant’s claims to the Tribunal remained fundamentally unchanged after the new rejection decision. Since the parties had the opportunity to comment on the new decision, the Tribunal considers it appropriate to treat the complaint as if it were also directed against the new decision (see Judgments 4769, consideration 3, 4660, consideration 6, 4065, consideration 3, and 2786, consideration 3).

    Summary: The complainant challenges the decision to end her service on the grounds of invalidity and to deduct from her invalidity allowance the contributions to the pension scheme.

    Consideration 1

    Extract:

    «Le Tribunal relève […] qu’une décision définitive rejetant sa réclamation a été prise par le nouveau Directeur général en date du 20 juin 2025. Cette décision a été produite après qu’Eurocontrol eut déposé sa duplique, à la suite de quoi les parties ont eu l’occasion de s’exprimer à son sujet dans des écritures supplémentaires. Ainsi, conformément à la jurisprudence du Tribunal, il y a lieu de requalifier la présente requête, initialement formée contre une décision implicite, comme dirigée contre la décision du nouveau Directeur général […] (voir notamment, pour des cas de figure similaires, les jugements 4963, au considérant 3, 4962, au considérant 3, 4961, au considérant 3, 4820, au considérant 6, 4769, au considérant 3, 4768, au considérant 3, 4660, au considérant 6, 4065, au considérant 3, et 2786, au considérant 3). »

    141st Session, 2026
    World Intellectual Property Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant seeks a retroactive redefinition of his employment relationship.

    Consideration 14

    Extract:

    Furthermore, endorsing the argument that a claim for recharacterization and compensation has no time limits – which would contradict Judgments 4655, 4654, 4160, and 4159 – would allow staff members to circumvent appeal time limits by seeking compensation at any time for injury caused to them by an individual decision they failed to challenge promptly. Such a situation is unacceptable given the necessity of legal stability, which is the very justification for time limits and their enforcement (see Judgment 3406, consideration 12, and the case law cited therein). Additionally, the Tribunal notes that the decisions granting the complainant a sequence of short contracts were, in themselves, decisions negatively affecting him, and, as such, challengeable decisions. Indeed, as recalled above, other staff members in the same situation as the complainant did challenge their short-term contracts. In any event, the decision to grant the complainant his first fixed-term contract clearly showed detrimental effects, insofar as it ignored the 25 past short-term contracts and failed to retroactively reclassify his employment. Consequently, contrary to the complainant’s contention, a decision denying recharacterization and compensation did exist prior to 24 January 2014. The Tribunal, consistent with Judgment 4655, holds that it was the decision on his first fixed-term contract.

    Consideration 8

    Extract:

    It is well established in the Tribunal’s case law that the executive head of an international organisation, when taking a decision on an internal appeal that departs from the recommendations made by the appeals body, to the detriment of the employee concerned, must adequately state the reasons for not following those recommendations (see, for example, Judgment 4062, consideration 3, and the case law cited therein).

    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant challenges a finding made in the decision not to initiate disciplinary proceedings against her.

    Considerations 11-12

    Extract:

    There is no material difference between the circumstances arising in this case and those that were considered by the Tribunal in Judgment 4295. In that case the complaint was dismissed because the complainant had no cause of action. A decision had been made by the Director General that no disciplinary measure would be imposed on the complainant. As the Tribunal observed, the decision was beneficial to the complainant, and thus he had no cause of action. To the extent that a finding of fact (contested by the complainant) had been made which led to the decision, that finding, as the Tribunal explained, “forms part of the reasons articulated in arriving at the decision”. In the present case, the decision not to commence disciplinary proceedings was likewise favourable to the complainant. To the extent findings of fact were made and adhered to in the impugned decision and reflected in the modified text of the letter of 22 February 2018, they were findings informing what was ultimately the favourable decision. Given the modification of the letter, there was no conclusory finding that the complainant had engaged in misconduct, the matter that troubled the WAB […] The complainant has no cause of action and her complaint should be dismissed.

    Summary: The complainant challenges the decisions to dismiss his moral harassment complaints, and claims compensation for the injury which he considers he has suffered.

    Considerations 6-7

    Extract:

    Insofar as the complaint is directed against the decision of the Director General to dismiss the complainant’s first complaint for moral harassment against Mr P.H. as unfounded, the Tribunal notes the following:
    (a) Where the Administration takes any action to deal with a claim, by forwarding it to the competent internal appeal body for example, this step in itself constitutes a “decision upon the claim” within the meaning of Article VII, paragraph 3, of the Statute of the Tribunal, which forestalls an implied rejection that could be referred to the Tribunal (see, for example, Judgments 3715, consideration 4, 3428, consideration 18, and 3146, consideration 12).
    (b) Under Article 92(2) of the Staff Regulations, the complainant should have filed a complaint before the Tribunal within 90 days from the expiry of the four-month time limit for the Administration to respond to his internal complaint, even if the matter had been referred to the Joint Committee for Disputes. The present complaint should therefore, in principle, be declared irreceivable as time-barred under Article VII, paragraph 2, of the Statute of the Tribunal, combined with Article 92(2) of the Staff Regulations.
    (c) However, in this case, the Tribunal considers that the complainant was misled by the Organisation when it indicated to him that, since his internal complaint had been referred to the Joint Committee for Disputes, he had, in accordance with the Tribunal’s case law on the application of Article VII, paragraph 3, of its Statute, to await the final decision of the Director General before being able to file a complaint with the Tribunal. By so doing, the Organisation overlooked the fact that, pursuant to Article 92(2) of the Staff Regulations, failure by the Director General to respond to an internal complaint within four months from the date on which it was lodged shall be deemed to constitute an implied decision rejecting it, which may be impugned before the Tribunal. There is no need to declare the complaint irreceivable as time-barred, insofar as it is directed against an implied decision to reject from the Director General. To rule otherwise would amount to unduly depriving the complainant of his right to refer the matter to the Tribunal solely due to the conduct of the Organisation.
    (d) The Tribunal observes that, while the complainant’s failure to comply with the 90-day time limit to file a complaint with the Tribunal is recognized above as admissible due to the fact that he was wrongly informed by the Organisation that he had to await an express decision, the complainant did not wait for this decision to be issued before filing his complaint. The complaint should therefore, in principle, be declared irreceivable for failure to exhaust internal means of redress, as required by Article VII, paragraph 1, of the Statute of the Tribunal. However, in this case, taking into account the period of one year and seven months that had elapsed between 5 June 2020, when the complainant filed his internal complaint, and 7 February 2022, when he filed his complaint with the Tribunal, and the fact that his counsel had followed up, to no avail, with the Director General, the Tribunal considers that the complainant was faced with a paralysis of the internal appeal procedure that would allow him to proceed directly to it. Under the Tribunal’s case law, a complainant is entitled to file a complaint directly with the Tribunal against the initial decision which she or he intends to challenge where the competent bodies are not able to determine the internal appeal within a reasonable time having regard to the circumstances, provided that she or he has done her or his utmost, to no avail, to accelerate the internal procedure and where the circumstances show that the appeal body was not able to reach a final decision within a reasonable time (see, for example, Judgments 4660, consideration 2, 4271, consideration 5, 4268, considerations 10 and 11, 4200, consideration 3, 3558, consideration 9, 2039, consideration 4, or 1486, consideration 11).
    (e) In addition, the Tribunal notes that a final decision was ultimately taken by the Director General on 12 May 2022, as was the opinion of the Joint Committee for Disputes relating thereto, and that that decision was issued in the course of proceedings. Since the Tribunal has the complete dossier in its possession and the parties have had the opportunity to comment fully in their written submissions on the express decision to reject the complainant’s internal complaint of 5 June 2020, and thus on the decision to reject the first harassment complaint inasmuch as it was directed against Mr P.H., it considers that, in accordance with its case law, it is appropriate to treat the internal complaint as being directed against the latter decision of 12 May 2022 (see in particular, for similar cases, Judgments 4769, consideration 3, 4768, consideration 3, 4660, consideration 6, 4065, consideration 3, and 2786, consideration 3).
    The present complaint is, accordingly, receivable insofar as it challenges the lawfulness of the Director General’s decision of 12 May 2022 to reject, as unfounded, the first moral harassment complaint directed against Mr P.H. It will therefore be examined from this standpoint by the Tribunal.

    Consideration 13

    Extract:

    The Tribunal observes, thirdly, that, although the two matters outlined above were, among others, specifically noted by the Joint Committee for Disputes in reaching the unanimous conclusion, in its opinion issued on 24 January 2022, that the complainant’s internal complaint was well-founded, they were not in any way addressed in the reasons given in the Director General’s final decision of 12 May 2022.
    Accordingly, there are grounds for considering that the reasons given for this decision are also not adequate, within the meaning of the Tribunal’s relevant case law (see Judgments 4700, consideration 4, 4598, consideration 12, 4400, consideration 10, and 4062, consideration 3).

    Consideration 1

    Extract:

    In her brief, the complainant identifies the 12 February 2020 letter from the Chief, Human Resources Management Department (HRMD), as the impugned decision. […]
    The Tribunal notes that, in the meantime, the Appeal Board considered the matter and, on 30 September 2020, the Administration took a final decision on the complainant’s appeal […]. In view of this final decision taken in the course of the proceedings, which has thus replaced the decision initially impugned before the Tribunal, the present complaint must be deemed to be directed against the 30 September 2020 decision.

    [...] Since the parties had the opportunity to comment fully in their submissions on the decision expressly rejecting the complainant’s internal complaint, the Tribunal considers it appropriate to treat the complaint as if it were directed against that decision (for similar cases, see, in particular, Judgments 4660, consideration 6, 4065, consideration 3, and 2786, consideration 3).

    In view of the fact that, subsequent to the complainant filing his complaint and his rejoinder, the Joint Committee for Disputes delivered its opinion on 6 October 2021 on his internal complaint of 29 May 2020 and the Director General made an express decision on 12 October 2021 rejecting that internal complaint, the complainant also impugns that decision in his further submissions.
    Since the parties have had ample opportunity to comment in their submissions on that express decision rejecting the complainant’s internal complaint of 29 May 2020, the Tribunal considers it appropriate to treat the complaint as being directed against that decision.

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    The complainant also seeks an order setting aside the Appraisals Committee’s opinion dated 9 May 2016. However, in itself, that opinion was merely a preparatory step in the process of reaching the final decision, impugned by the complainant, which did not itself cause injury. As the Tribunal noted in Judgment 4392, consideration 5, in respect of the EPO’s Appeals Committee, “[a] request to declare the opinion of the Appeals Committee null and void is irreceivable as the Appeals Committee has authority to make only recommendations, not decisions”. This is equally true of an opinion of the Appraisals Committee. Established precedent has it that such an advisory opinion does not in itself constitute a decision causing injury which may be impugned before the Tribunal (see, for example, Judgment 3171, consideration 13).
    It follows that this claim is irreceivable.

    Extract:

    [A] mere declaration […] that [the Director-General] was satisfied of misconduct beyond reasonable doubt without explaining why, involves a failure to motivate a conclusion at odds with the conclusion of the internal appeals body. This failure, alone, would justify the setting aside of the impugned decision (see Judgments 4400, consideration 10, 4062, consideration 3, and 3969, considerations 10 and 16). What, at a minimum, the Director-General needed to have done was explain why the analysis of the GBA […] was flawed, or did not sustain the ultimate conclusion of the GBA, or both. He did neither.

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant impugns the Director General’s decision to summarily dismiss him.

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    Since the suspension decision as well as the decision to remove him from his duties had, by themselves, an immediate, material, legal and adverse effect on the complainant, and were not subsumed under the final decision taken at the conclusion of any disciplinary proceedings, they cannot be considered as mere steps leading to the final decision and, according to the Tribunal’s case law, must themselves be challenged (see, for example, Judgments 1927, consideration 5, 2365, consideration 4, 3035, consideration 10, and 4237, consideration 8).
