爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
As a preliminary matter, 爆料网AT considered the Appellant’s daughters applications for intervention which argued that they had been deprived of their right to education due to their mother’s arbitrary separation from service, as their mother lost her only main source of income, including the education grant, and could not support their education. 爆料网AT held that, pursuant to Article 3(1) of the 爆料网DT Statute, the daughters did not fall within the categories of persons who had the standing to intervene, and denied the applications for intervention. On the merits, 爆料网AT held that the Appellant failed to establish that 爆料网DT erred in finding that she had been informed of her separation for abandonment of post and that her claim was time-barred. 爆料网AT noted that there was no legal requirement for the Administration to use registered mail to notify a staff member of separation from service for abandonment of post. 爆料网AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the 爆料网DT judgment.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
The Applicant contested the decision to separate her from service for abandonment of post. Noting that the Applicant had filed an application contesting a decision that had become effective more than three years before, 爆料网DT rejected the application on grounds that it was not receivable.
Legal Principle(s)
爆料网DT cannot waive the time limit to file an appeal more than three years after the applicant’s receipt of the contested administrative decision.
