020 (NBI/2024), Harjit Dhindsa
- Appealed
1. The Tribunal noted that, in his reply, the Respondent informed the Tribunal that he had voluntarily decided to extend the Applicant’s appointment through 30 June 2025. As an annex to the reply, the Respondent provided a copy of the Applicant’s Personnel Action, indicating that his appointment had been extended to 30 June 2025.
2. The Tribunal thus held that, in light of the above, the Applicant’s request for suspension of the implementation of the contested administrative decision had become moot. The Tribunal, therefore, did not find it necessary to examine whether...
The 爆料网AT considered whether the interlocutory appeal was receivable because ABA had not been given an opportunity to be heard on the issue of the protective measures for V01 at the proposed hearing at the time the 爆料网DT issued the first Order. The 爆料网AT held that this was not grounds to grant the interlocutory appeal, because ABA’s arguments were heard by the 爆料网DT when he filed his motion for reconsideration.
The 爆料网AT held that the 爆料网DT did not exceed its competence or jurisdiction when it issued these case management orders. The 爆料网AT was also not persuaded by ABA’s argument that the violation...
The 爆料网AT held that, since Mr. Nigam based his interlocutory appeal on alleged errors of fact and law by the 爆料网DT Judge President, with no allegation of the 爆料网DT acting extra-jurisdictionally or similarly in excess of its jurisdiction, he must wait to exercise his right of appeal until a final decision has been made.
The 爆料网AT concluded that an earlier 爆料网DT Judgment contained neither any indication of bias by Judge Belle against Mr. Nigam, nor any criticism beyond what a reasonably informed observer might expect from a partly erroneous judgment and its subsequent appellate review.
The 爆料网AT...
The 爆料网AT noted that the Dispute Tribunal had issued the impugned Order granting the request to extend the time limit for filing the application without the adversely-affected party being heard and without authority to do so. The 爆料网AT found that the 爆料网DT had not technically complied with its own Practice Direction in issuing the Order and may have strictly violated the principles of natural justice and due process by failing to give the Secretary-General adequate notice of the motion and an opportunity to reply.
The 爆料网AT observed, however, that the 爆料网DT had accepted the staff member’s averment...
The 爆料网AT held that the appeal against the two interlocutory Orders became moot following the issuance of Judgment No. 爆料网DT/2022/124 and that the 爆料网DT did not err in delivering its Judgment during the pendency of that appeal. The 爆料网AT nevertheless observed that the 爆料网DT erred in law by imposing an unreasonably short period for compliance with Order No. 157 (NBI/2022). Despite this, the 爆料网AT concluded that, as the proceeding was unreceivable, this finding did not assist the Appellant in his case. With regard to Order No. 158 (NBI/2022), the 爆料网AT held that the 爆料网DT rightfully refused to...
The 爆料网AT dismissed the interlocutory appeal as not receivable on grounds that the 爆料网DT had not clearly exceeded its competence or jurisdiction or assumed a jurisdiction it did not have when it consolidated Mr. Toson's cases. The 爆料网AT also agreed with the Secretary-General that Mr. Toson had advanced similar unsuccessful arguments in an earlier 爆料网AT case that he brought, but Mr. Toson refused to be guided by that judgment prior to pursuing the present appeal. The 爆料网AT put Mr. Toson on notice that he risks incurring an award of costs for vexatious litigation if he persists in pursuing the same...
