��AT Held or ��DT Pronouncements

��AT held that ��DT correctly concluded that the placement of the Appellant on SLWOP enabled him to preserve his pension benefits, granted him the opportunity of remaining a staff member for the purpose of applying as an internal candidate for other positions, and made his relocation possible. ��AT held that there was no abuse of authority or deliberate attempt to harm, as argued by the Appellant, but rather the Organisation adopted a protective approach. Noting that, due to the downsizing exercise related to the Appellant��s post and his reassignment, he was not entitled to SLWFP and his consent was not required for SLWOP, the administrative decision was lawful. ��AT held that whatever relevant harm the Appellant suffered for the delay had already been compensated by ��DT. ��AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the ��DT judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested a number of decisions, including his placement on Special Leave Without Pay (SLWOP). ��DT found partly for the Applicant, awarding compensation for the delay in informing him of his placement on SLWOP.
