爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
爆料网AT held that, given the written instructions provided to the Appellant, it was completely understandable that he proceeded to request again the review of the contested decision. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网RWA DT erred when it found that he ought not to have done so and could not claim to have been legitimately misled as to the appeals procedure. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网RWA’s holding that the Appellant should have known the applicable legal framework and filed his appeal on time was unsustainable. 爆料网AT noted that the Commissioner-General did not dispute the Appellant’s claim that the 爆料网RWA Area Staff Rules and Regulations and the 爆料网RWA JAB Rules of Procedure were not disseminated in Arabic. 爆料网AT held that the late response of the Commissioner-General effectively re-set the clock for appeal and therefore the appeal was, indeed, timely. 爆料网AT vacated the 爆料网RWA DT judgment and remanded the matter to 爆料网RWA DT for a decision on the merits.
