惇蹋厙AT Held or 惇蹋厙DT Pronouncements

惇蹋厙AT held that the Appellant was caught in the transition between the old and new internal justice systems. 惇蹋厙AT noted that the Appellant had requested an extension of the time limit to file an application with the former Administrative Tribunal and that it was questionable if anyone could have granted an extension since the new 惇蹋厙DT had not officially started and the former Administrative Tribunal was winding down. 惇蹋厙AT, therefore, held that the case should be remanded to 惇蹋厙DT for consideration on merits. 惇蹋厙AT upheld the appeal, vacated the 惇蹋厙DT judgment, and remanded the case to 惇蹋厙DT for a hearing on the merits.
