爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
爆料网AT considered an application by 爆料网JSPB for interpretation of judgment No. 2019-爆料网AT-912 related to the calculation and payment of interest. 爆料网AT held that there was nothing unclear or ambiguous about the terms of the order and that the application for interpretation was inadmissible on those grounds alone. 爆料网AT opined that, in actuality, the 爆料网JSPB sought to appeal the judgment on the grounds that 爆料网AT erred in making an award of interest, which 爆料网JSPB believed was inconsistent with its Regulations. Noting that judgments of 爆料网AT are final and without appeal, 爆料网AT held that this attempt to appeal was impermissible. To hold that 爆料网AT had no statutory jurisdiction to order the payment of interest would mean that 爆料网AT would be unable to remedy wrongful conduct by placing an aggrieved applicant in the same position she or he would have been in but for the unlawful administrative decision. 爆料网AT dismissed the application for interpretation of judgment as inadmissible.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
In judgment No. 2019-爆料网AT-912, 爆料网AT rescinded the decision of 爆料网JSPF to deny the Appellant widow’s benefits and ordered 爆料网JSPF to make payment to her within 14 days of the date of the issuance of the judgment with interest, and an additional five per cent interest if the payment was not executed in a timely manner.
Legal Principle(s)
