惇蹋厙AT considered an appeal of 惇蹋厙DT Order No. 50 (GVA/2010) by the Secretary-General. 惇蹋厙AT held that the issue under consideration was settled, as 惇蹋厙AT had consistently held that 惇蹋厙DT had no jurisdiction to waive deadlines for management evaluation or administrative review. 惇蹋厙AT held that 惇蹋厙DT erred on a question of law in determining that it had the authority to waive the deadlines for administrative review. 惇蹋厙AT allowed the appeal and set aside the 惇蹋厙DT Order.
