Procedural Posture

Staff Indemnity Claim / Final Judgment

  1. 1 Whether the applicant is entitled to compensation beyond the statutory indemnity for occupational disease under the Staff Regulations
  2. 2 Whether the respondent breached its duty of care or committed a fault justifying additional damages
  3. 3 Whether the compensation already paid fully covers the applicant's physical, moral, professional, and financial damages

Ratio Decidendi

The Tribunal found that the applicant's physical and psychological injuries, including moral and social consequences, were fully compensated by the statutory indemnity of €35,192.16 under Article 73 of the Staff Regulations. No distinct or inadequately compensated harm was proven. The Tribunal rejected claims of administrative fault, excessive delay, or discrimination, finding no evidence of breach of duty or causal link to additional damages. Thus, no further compensation was warranted.
