爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
爆料网AT held that 爆料网DT correctly found that the separation issue was not receivable because it was res judicata. On the non-selection issue, 爆料网AT held that the Appellant failed to establish that 爆料网DT committed any errors of law or fact in reaching its finding that since the Appellant was unsuitable for the post, neither the failure to consider his application prior to the 30-day candidates nor the failure to notify him within 14 days of the selection decision vitiated the outcome of the selection process. 爆料网AT held that his requests for relief were denied, noting that where an irregularity has no impact on the status of a staff member, because he or she had no foreseeable chance for promotion, he or she is not entitled to rescission or compensation. 爆料网AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the 爆料网DT judgment.

Legal Principle(s)
The authority of a final judgment, or res judicata, cannot be readily set aside. Priority consideration cannot be interpreted as a promise or guarantee to be appointed or receive that for which one is granted such consideration. Where an irregularity has no impact on the status of a staff member because he or she had no foreseeable chance or promotion, he or she is not entitled to rescission or compensation.
