schestowitzEPO source: "No problem, it has time 'til after the weekend, of course. Yet it would be a major catastrophe for staff of all IOs, if IOs could prevent their employees' access to the Tribunal by introducing "errors" in their internal appeals process, and if the Tribunal agreed with this, as Judgment 4131, under 5., seems to imply. Imagine a defendant "re-running" an appeal in the complainant's name, but without his/her participation - utterly Sep 09 04:23

Yet, as you mentioned your contact to Director-General Mr Guy Ryder, I think it would be very helpful, if you drew his attention to this issue. Though the Tribunal is independent, his informal advice could help to protect essential employees' rights (such as the right of access to the Tribunal, Article 6 ECHR) Sep 09 04:25
