��AT Held or ��DT Pronouncements

��AT considered an application for revision of judgment No. 2010-��AT-084 filed by the estate of Mr Sanwidi. ��AT held that the estate of Mr Sandwidi did not present new evidence but merely expressed disagreement with the judgment. ��AT denied the application for revision.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

In judgment No. 2010-��AT-084, ��AT overturned ��DT��s finding that the disciplinary measure imposed upon Mr Sanwidi was disproportionate to his conduct. ��AT concluded that, by entering into a currency exchange transaction with a vendor of MONUC, Mr Sanwidi failed to meet the standards expected of a staff member involved in procurement, his misconduct was serious, and the disciplinary measure of summary dismissal was not disproportionate. ��AT affirmed the decision to summarily dismiss him.
