6 AUGUST 1982 THAT CANDIDATE WAS APPOINTED TO THE VACANT POST AS A PROBATIONARY OFFICIAL IN GRADE A 5 WITH EFFECT FROM 1 AUGUST 1982 .
9 ON 18 NOVEMBER 1982 THE APPLICANT LODGED A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE DECISIONS REJECTING HIS APPLICATION AND APPOINTING THE OTHER CANDIDATE . SINCE HE RECEIVED NO REPLY TO HIS COMPLAINT HE BROUGHT THESE PROCEEDINGS .
THE CLAIM FOR ANNULMENT OF THE DECISION NOT TO ACCEPT THE APPLICANT ' S APPLICATION
10 THE APPLICANT FIRST MAINTAINS THAT IN REJECTING HIS APPLICATION THE ADMINISTRATION REACHED A DECISION WITHOUT EXAMINING THE MATTER AND IN PARTICULAR WITHOUT MAKING CONTACT WITH HIM . EVERY CANDIDATE HAS THE RIGHT , HE SAYS , TO HAVE HIS APPLICATION CAREFULLY CONSIDERED . HERE THERE WAS NOT EVEN A PRETENCE OF CONSIDERATION , SINCE THE RAPIDITY OF THE SELECTION PREVENTED A PROPER EXAMINATION OF THE CANDIDATES . AS A RESULT THE TRUST WHICH THE APPLICANT SHOULD LEGITIMATELY HAVE IN THE APPOINTING AUTHORITY WAS PROFOUNDLY SHAKEN AND DISAPPOINTED . THE APPOINTING AUTHORITY BREACHED THE PRINCIPLE OF PROPER ADMINISTRATION , AND ITS ASSERTION THAT THE APPLICANT ' S APPLICATION DID NOT MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED BY THE VACANCY NOTICE WAS ENTIRELY WITHOUT FOUNDATION .
11 ACCORDING TO THE PARLIAMENT THE ADMINISTRATION WAS PERFECTLY ABLE TO ASSESS THE APPLICANT ' S QUALIFICATIONS ON THE BASIS OF HIS APPLICATION AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS , IN PARTICULAR HIS CURRICULUM VITAE , AND DID IN FACT DO SO . CONTACT WITH THE APPLICANT COULD NOT HAVE PROVIDED NEW OR SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION .
12 IN REPLY TO THE QUESTIONS PUT BY THE COURT THE PARLIAMENT STATED THAT THE APPLICANT ' S APPLICATION WAS CONSIDERED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE APPLICATIONS MADE UNDER THE PROCEDURE PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 29 ( 2 ) OF THE STAFF REGULATIONS . THE SELECTION WAS MADE BY AN INFORMAL SELECTION COMMITTEE WHICH FIRST EXAMINED THE CANDIDATES ' FILES . ON THE BASIS OF THAT EXAMINATION THE COMMITTEE DECIDED WHETHER OR NOT TO CALL CANDIDATES FOR AN INTERVIEW . IN THE APPLICANT ' S CASE THE COMMITTEE DECIDED THAT HE DID NOT FULFIL THE ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATION OF ' ' EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD OF COMPUTERIZED ACCOUNTING ' ' AND THAT AN INTERVIEW WITH HIM WOULD NOT BE LIKELY TO PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION .
13 IN THIS REGARD IT SHOULD BE EMPHASIZED THAT IN A RECRUITMENT OR TRANSFER PROCEDURE IT IS INCUMBENT UPON EACH CANDIDATE TO PROVIDE ALL THE USEFUL FACTS AND INFORMATION WHICH WILL PERMIT THE APPOINTING AUTHORITY TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT HE FULFILS THE CONDITIONS LAID DOWN IN THE VACANCY NOTICE . IT IS FOR THAT AUTHORITY ALONE , OR WHERE APPROPRIATE THE SELECTION COMMITTEE , TO DECIDE WHETHER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SHOULD BE OBTAINED FROM CANDIDATES . IN THIS CASE THE APPLICANT HAS NOT EVEN INDICATED THE INFORMATION WHICH IN HIS VIEW WAS NECESSARY OR USEFUL AS A SUPPLEMENT TO THAT CONTAINED IN HIS CURRICULUM VITAE AND THAT ALREADY KNOWN TO THE SELECTION COMMITTEE WITH REGARD TO THE NATURE OF THE RELEVANT WORK IN HIS
