爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
爆料网AT held that the Appellants had failed to present any evidence showing that they had suffered mental distress during the investigation, and such evidence was necessary for an award of moral damages. 爆料网AT held that there was no merit in the Appellant’s claim that 爆料网RWA DT had erred in not awarding them compensation for the lengthy administrative delay during the investigation. 爆料网AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the 爆料网RWA DT judgment.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
The Applicants contested the decisions to suspend all of them from duty with pay for nearly 18 months without any compensation following the closure of the investigation into suspected fraud. 爆料网RWA DT found that the duration of the investigation was not unreasonable given the complex financial issues and voluminous documents involved. 爆料网RWA DT found that the 18-month delay in closing the investigation was not due to the Agency’s negligence and that it did not violate the Applicant’s due process rights. 爆料网RWA DT rejected the requests for compensation, for the Agency to issue an apology and for the Tribunal to issue a declaration of their innocence. 爆料网RWA DT dismissed all the applications.
