For European Patent Office (<a href=\"https:\/\/unionsyndicale.eu\/en\/?s=epo&amp;lang=en\">EPO<\/a>) labour disputes, the ILO-AT is the only external legal instance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extent of jurisdiction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The applicable law, under the ILO-AT Statute, is formally limited to the terms of appointment and service conditions of the organisation concerned. But the ILO-AT\u2019s case law on this point has been<br \/>\ninconsistent; in some judgments, general principles of law and human rights have been considered<br \/>\nas additional sources of law, in others they have been excluded. The Tribunal does not order interim relief. Witnesses can give written statements but their cross-examination is not possible. Since 1989, the ILO-AT has declined to hold any oral hearings. The Tribunal has no means of enforcing judgments.<\/p>\n<p>The Tribunal has recently changed its approach concerning general decisions. While Staff Committee members could, in the past, challenge general decisions directly, it now seems that general decisions (legislative decisions) may no longer be challengeable at all. Concerned employees must now wait until an administrative decision implementing a general decision, eg a career reform, produces a direct adverse effect on them, eg through a missed promotion that was due, visible on a payslip. This has as a consequence that every staff member must file an individual appeal instead of a staff committee member filing a model appeal for all. The number of internal appeals has thus since exploded. Another consequence is that many general decisions, eg decisions changing governance rules, may no longer be challengeable, even if they are presumably illegal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unionsyndicale.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/EPO-FLIER-38-The-ILO-Tribunal.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Detailed analysis in EPO-FLIER #38<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/unionsyndicale.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EPO-FLIER-38-The-ILO-Tribunal.pdf\">Detailed analysis in EPO-FLIER #38<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium with_line width_50 thick_3 style_solid color_primary align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_auto\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover here our article about the ILO Tribunal: is it still worthy of our trust ?
