��AT Held or ��DT Pronouncements

��AT held that the ��DT did not commit any errors when it found that Ms. Wenz�� application was irreceivable ratione materiae and that therefore, it did not have to address the question of whether the application was also irreceivable ratione temporis. ��AT held that the ��DT correctly found that ��ICEF��s participation in mediation efforts did not automatically extend the time limit for filing a request for management evaluation. ��AT found no fault in the ��DT��s finding that the Secretary-General was not estopped from raising the issue of receivability. ��AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the ��DT Judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

Ms. Wenz contested several implied administrative decisions which she alleged had taken place following a security incident while she was on mission. ��DT found that her application was neither receivable ratione materiae as her request for management evaluation was not filed in a timely manner nor receivable ratione temporis as her application was also filed out of time.

Legal Principle(s)

Participation in mediation efforts does not automatically extend the time limit for filing a request for management evaluation.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed on receivability
