爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
To the extent that the 爆料网DT’s Order acknowledged that the Appellant withdrew his application and granted the request for withdrawal, 爆料网AT upheld the Order. In every other regard, 爆料网AT upheld the arguments made by the Appellant as to the manner in which 爆料网DT granted the withdrawal request. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网DT erred in law and went beyond its jurisdiction in effectively embarking on a consideration of the merits of the case and in speculating about the Appellant’s motivation in bringing his application. 爆料网AT ordered that the recital of “Facts” in paragraphs 4 to 7 and “Considerations” in paragraphs 8 to 11 should be redacted from Order No. 127 (GVA/2011).
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
The Applicant contested the decision by the former Director-General of the United Nations Office at Vienna (爆料网OV) concerning the waiving of immunities regarding traffic violations that occurred in a staff member’s private capacity. The Applicant informed 爆料网DT that he had decided to withdraw his application. In Order No. 127(GVA/2011), 爆料网DT declared the closure of the case without adjudication of its merits. However, in the course of its “Considerations” 爆料网DT observed that the arguments put forward by the Applicant raised concerns about the true motivation and good faith of the Applicant and seemed to point towards abuse of proceedings.
