2013-惇蹋厙AT-390

惇蹋厙AT Held or 惇蹋厙DT Pronouncements

惇蹋厙AT considered a writ of mandamus from Ms Wesslund, who requested that 惇蹋厙AT order 惇蹋厙DT to accept her applications. 惇蹋厙AT held that because it did not have inherent or original jurisdiction outside its capacity as an appellate body, it considered the motion for writ of mandamus to be an appeal against 惇蹋厙DT Order No. 100 (NY/2013). 惇蹋厙AT held that the appeal was received beyond the deadline for appeal. Noting that Ms Wesslund did not apply to 惇蹋厙AT for an extension or waive of the applicable time limits, 惇蹋厙AT held that the appeal of the Order was not receivable ratione temporis. 惇蹋厙AT dismissed the motion of writ of mandamus as not receivable.

Legal Principle(s)
