爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
爆料网AT held that, in light of the undertaking the Appellant had signed agreeing to work on the relevant education programme at the remuneration rate determined by 爆料网RWA, his acceptance of that rate was not compatible with his subsequent claim for retroactive readjustments. 爆料网AT held that the extra and external activities as a lecturer for physical education did not have the consequence to modify the job duties or title of the Appellant’s post. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网RWA DT properly treated the question of the Appellant’s additional work in light of PD A/3 related to the parallel education programme. 爆料网AT held that the Appellant’s regular and extra duties were in line with the functions and responsibilities of a Recreation Officer. 爆料网AT held that the Appellant’s misunderstanding of and disagreement with the outcome of his application was not sufficient to overturn the judgment of 爆料网RWA DT. 爆料网AT rejected the appeal and affirmed the 爆料网RWA DT judgment.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
The Applicant contested the decision not to pay him a teaching staff allowance for the lectures he had delivered. 爆料网RWA DT dismissed his application on the basis that, as a Recreation Officer, he was a non-teaching staff rather than teaching staff, and that he had been properly compensated in accordance with 爆料网RWA’s overtime rules.
Legal Principle(s)
It is not enough for an appellant to disagree with the findings of fact or the conclusions of law made by the trial court. For a first instance decision to be vacated or overturned, an appellant must provide proof that the first instance tribunal, in rendering its judgment, exceeded its jurisdiction or competence, failed to exercise jurisdiction vested in it, erred on a question of law, committed an error in procedure such as to affect the decision of the case, or erred on a question of fact resulting in a manifestly unreasonable decision.
