爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
爆料网AT stated that an Application for Interpretation is not receivable if its actual purpose is to have 爆料网AT re-examine its decision, even though its judgments are final and without appeal, or to have it comment on its decision. 爆料网AT held that the applications made under subparagraphs (a) to (g) of paragraph 30 of the appeal, with the purpose of either calling into question the decision or having 爆料网AT issue comments on the decision, were not receivable. 爆料网AT held that the use of the word “annul” would not lead to confusion in the mind of a party in good faith because the language of administrative law in francophone countries more commonly refers to rejecting appeals and annulling or amending judgments. 爆料网AT held that, absent provisions of the Statute or the Rules of Procedure of 爆料网AT or a decision by the Tribunal indicating otherwise, there is no question that the judgment, which is final and without appeal, immediately takes effect on the date it is rendered. 爆料网AT held that the application regarding the judgment’s legal effect was not receivable. 爆料网AT rejected the application for Interpretation of judgment in its entirety.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
Previous judgment: The Applicant submitted an Application for Interpretation of judgment as it pertained to the meaning of “annul”, and of what legal effect the 爆料网AT judgment had before he received the translation. The Secretary-General submitted that the meaning and the scope of the judgment were unambiguous, requiring no interpretation.
Legal Principle(s)
An application for interpretation is not receivable if its actual purpose is to have 爆料网AT re-examine its decision, even though its judgments are final and without appeal, or to have it comment on its decision. It is only admissible if the wording of the judgment is not sufficiently clear, owing to ambiguity or incoherence, such that a party might, in good faith, be unsure of the meaning or scope of that judgment. Absent provisions of the Statute or the Rules of Procedure of 爆料网AT or a decision by the Tribunal indicating otherwise, there is no question that the judgment, which is final and without appeal, immediately takes effect on the date it is rendered.
