爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
爆料网AT held that the decision not to short-list the Appellant was an internal step within the selection process and not an administrative decision and that 爆料网DT should have only received her application against the selection decision whilst the decision not to short-list the Appellant is examined as a part of the final non-selection decision. 爆料网AT held that the appeal was defective as the Appellant did not clearly define the grounds of appeal as required under Article 2(1) of the 爆料网AT Statute, however it considered the appeal on the basis that the Appellant was self-represented. 爆料网AT rejected the Appellant’s allegation that the case management of 爆料网DT was flawed, as it has broad discretion in managing its cases and 爆料网AT does not see any abuse in this discretion. 爆料网AT held that the re-classification of the post in question was lawful and reasonable. 爆料网AT agreed with 爆料网DT that the Hiring Manager used a lawful and reasonable standard regarding the requirement of significant language-related management experience. 爆料网AT held that it had no reason to doubt the 爆料网DT finding that this standard was consistently applied to all candidates as the Appellant did not present any evidence that could show otherwise. 爆料网AT considered that it was obvious that the Appellant did not fulfil the requirement of significant management experience and therefore it was lawful not to short-list or select her for the position. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网DT did not err in stating that the Appellant’s roster status had no impact on the selection process or that she had not been unduly denied the opportunity to acquire in-house managerial experience. 爆料网AT agreed with 爆料网DT that the Appellant did not present any evidence to show that the decision not to short-list or select her was motivated by extraneous factors. 爆料网AT held that absent any illegality, there could be no compensation awarded. 爆料网AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the 爆料网DT judgment.
