爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
爆料网AT refused the Appellant’s motion to file additional pleadings, noting that the new evidence related to matters falling outside the scope of his application to 爆料网DT. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网DT erred in finding that the only legal issue arising for determination was whether the Appellant was entitled to compensation for moral damages as a result of the issuance of the reprimand. 爆料网AT held that since the Administration had rescinded the impugned decision even before the Appellant had filed his 爆料网DT application, and by corollary should then have removed the written reprimand and all reference to it from the Appellant’s Official Status File, as rescission implies, it thereby rendered the claim before 爆料网DT moot. 爆料网AT held there was thus no administrative decision on which 爆料网DT was competent to pass judgment, including the issue of compensation. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网DT should have ruled that the application was not receivable. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网DT exceeded its jurisdiction in accepting the application and considering whether compensation was payable. 爆料网AT dismissed the appeal and vacated the 爆料网DT judgment.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
