On account of the persistence of the health crisis linked to COVID-19, the measures adopted under Article 42 of the Rules of Tribunal are maintained.

As a result, during the period during which precautionary measures continue to apply at the Council of Europe and until further notice, the date of lodging of appeals will be exceptionally that of the electronic dispatch of a duly completed appeal form and its annexes. It is up to the appellant (or his/her representative) either to send the documents dispatched electronically by a registered letter or to deposit them at the registry as soon as possible and without adding any modification.

The same procedure applies when lodging requests for stay.

The e-mail address to be used is: tribunal.administratif[at]coe.int.

This information was brought to the attention of the Secretary General (via her usual representative) and the Chair of the Staff Committee of the Council of Europe as well as to the staff via the Intranet. The Governor of the Council of Europe Development Bank and the Secretaries General of other international organisations subject to the jurisdiction of the Tribunal will also be informed in order to notify their staff.

The same rules will apply, mutatis mutandis, to conciliation procedures valid for the three international organisations which have recognised the jurisdiction of the Tribunal unless otherwise specified by the conciliators.
