On 28 June 2024, the Administrative Tribunal registered appeal No. 759/2024 – D. S. v. Secretary General of the Council of Europe. The appellant is a job applicant who applied to take part in an external recruitment procedure (Vacancy Notice No. e30/2023) carried out in accordance with Article 4100 of the Staff Rule on entry into service in order to recruit Assistant Lawyers at the Registry of the European Court of Human Rights.

The appellant challenges the decision not to invite him to the final stage of the selection procedure on account of alleged procedural irregularities of the online job-related test which would have led to an erroneous assessment of the test papers.

On these grounds, the appellant asks to be placed in the pre-selection list of the recruitment procedure or alternatively to be given the opportunity to re-sit the examination.

The indication of the subject matter of the appeal is based on the information provided to the registry and it is not binding on the Tribunal.

The above information is intended to enable those who so wish to exercise their right to intervene under Article XI of the Statute of the Administrative Tribunal.
