the Applicant, Dr. Avramov examined him on 2 May 1984. Having diagnosed mitral stenosis, he referred the Applicant to a specialist in cardiology, Dr. Bishara, on 8 May 1984, for further medical examination and consultation. Dr. Bishara, after examining the Applicant, gave him a clean bill of health certificate. The Applicant forwarded the certificate to Dr. Avramov. VII.The Tribunal considers in this respect that Dr. Avramov, as a generalist, should either have accepted the cardiologist's verdict, or at least have referred Dr. Bishara's report to the U.N. Medical Director in New York, together with the results of his own medical examination of the Applicant on 27 July and 30 November 1984. Unfortunately, he appears to have done neither. VIII.On 3 January 1985, the U.N. Medical Director, relying on the above-mentioned reports forwarded to him by Dr. Avramov, decided that the Applicant should be medically classified as 2A, and therefore not medically fit for an extension of his present contract. IX.On 23 January 1985, the Applicant was examined by the U.N. Medical Director in New York. While he cleared him of the hernia, he upheld the original erroneous diagnosis concerning the Applicant's heart defect. On 24 January 1985, the U.N. Medical Director informed the Administrative Officer, OFOESA, of the following:- 12 - "Further to my 3 January memorandum the [Appellant] was examined by myself and our cardiologist in the Medical Service on 23 January. His medical classification has to remain, unfortunately as 2A, but I will be quite willing on compassionate grounds to medically clear him for an extension of another three months, for him to settle his personal affairs." X.The Applicant made strenuous efforts to rebut his 2A medical classification by invoking three medical examinations in his favour. The first, by Dr. Bishara, mentioned above, on 8 May 1984; the second, by his personal family physician who examined him on
