爆料网AT considered the Secretary-General's appeal of judgment on Receivability No. 爆料网DT/2013/061 and of judgment on the Merits No. 爆料网DT/2013/101. 爆料网AT held that the appeal of the judgment on Receivability was timely. 爆料网AT found that 爆料网DT erred in finding that Mr Ngokeng’s satisfactory appraisal constituted an appealable administrative decision, as there was no evidence of any adverse administrative decision stemming from Mr Ngokeng’s performance appraisal. 爆料网AT specifically noted that the First Reporting Officer’s comment on Mr Ngokeng’s output did not detract from the overall satisfactory...
