UNDER SATISFACTORY CONDITIONS BY MEANS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT ( REASONS MUST BE STATED ON THE TRAVEL ORDER ) AND IN CONNEXION WITH WHICH IT IS FOUND THAT REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES ON THE NORMAL BASIS WOULD BE CLEARLY INSUFFICIENT ( SUBSEQUENT CHECK ON THE BASIS OF A DETAILED REASONED STATEMENT OF THE DISTANCE COVERED ) '.
( D ) CONSEQUENTLY, ONE OF THE CONDITIONS FOR REIMBURSEMENT AT THE RATE PER KILOMETRE WAS THE FINDING THAT REIMBURSEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RAIL FARE CLEARLY COVERED ONLY A PART OF THE ACTUAL MISSION EXPENSES .
THAT FINDING HAD TO BE MADE BY THE GENERAL DEPARTMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATION IN ORDER TO AVOID DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN THE OFFICIALS OF THE HIGH AUTHORITY .
FOR THE REASONS STATED AT A(C ) ABOVE, THE CONDITION IN QUESTION WAS NOT SATISFIED BY REASON OF THE FACT ALONE THAT THE AMOUNT REIMBURSED FOR EACH KILOMETRE COVERED WAS LESS THAN 3 BELGIAN FRANCS .
WITH REGARD TO THE JOURNEYS ON MISSION APPEARING IN THE STATEMENT UNDER NOS 14 AND 16, A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE TOTAL NUMBER OF KILOMETRES COVERED AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT ACTUALLY REIMBURSED DOES NOT, IN THE OPINION OF THE COURT OF JUSTICE AND IN THE ABSENCE OF MORE DETAILED INFORMATION, GIVE GROUNDS FOR DECLARING THAT THE REIMBURSEMENT WAS ' CLEARLY INSUFFICIENT '.
THEREFORE THE APPLICANT'S CLAIM ON THIS POINT IS UNFOUNDED .
( E ) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ABOVE-MENTIONED PROVISIONS, ANOTHER CONDITION FOR REIMBURSEMENT AT THE RATE PER KILOMETRE WAS THAT THE IMMEDIATE SUPERIOR OF THE SERVANT CONCERNED CERTIFIES WITH REASONS ON THE TRAVEL ORDER THE NEED, FOR REASONS OF SERVICE, TO USE A PRIVATE CAR .
WITH REGARD TO THE ENTRY APPEARING IN NO 15 OF THE STATEMENT, THE TRAVEL ORDER BEARS THE FOLLOWING REMARK, ' MR LEPAPE MUST USE HIS CAR ON THE BASIS OF 3 BELGIAN FRANCS PER KILOMETRE TO RETAIN FULL FREEDOM TO VISIT COLLERIES TO BE SELECTED '.
THAT REMARK IS ONLY COVERED BY THE SIGNATURE OF THE APPLICANT ALONE, SINCE THE SIGNATURE OF THE IMMEDIATE SUPERIOR, MR BURGERT, IS PLACED ABOVE THE WORDING OF THE TRAVEL ORDER .
IN THE OPINION OF THE COURT, THIS MANNER OF COMPLETING THE TRAVEL ORDER DOES NOT FULFIL THE REQUIREMENTS LAID DOWN IN THE SAID ' OPINION '.
P.77
IN FACT, IN ORDER TO AVOID ALL ABUSE, VERY STRICT CONDITIONS OF FORM AND SUBSTANCE MUST BE IMPOSED FOR DECLARATIONS INTENDED TO ESTABLISH THE RIGHT TO REIMBURSEMENT AT THE RATE PER KILOMETRE - AN ARRANGEMENT WHICH THE REGULATIONS EXPRESSLY DESCRIBE AS AN EXCEPTION .
FOR THIS REASON, THE APPLICANT'S CLAIM ON THIS POINT IS UNFOUNDED .
HAVING REGARD TO THE FOREGOING, THE CLAIM RELATING TO THE PAYMENT OF A SUM OF 3645 BELGIAN FRANCS MUST BE DISMISSED .
D - JOURNEYS ON MISSION RELATING TO NOS 18 AND 19 OF THE STATEMENT; JOURNEY ON MISSION FROM 2 TO 6 ( OR 7 ) APRIL 1962 ( CLAIM FOR 2943 BELGIAN FRANCS, REDUCED TO 2942 BELGIAN FRANCS )
THESE JOURNEYS MUST BE EXAMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
