爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
The 爆料网AT held that the staff member’s attempts to reargue her case failed to identify any reviewable error in the 爆料网DT Judgment, warranting alone dismissal of her appeal. In any event, regardless of the merits of her claim, the 爆料网AT found that her application was time-barred under Article 8(4) of the 爆料网DT Statute since she filed it 27 years after her receipt of the contested decision. Recalling that there is no authority given to either tribunal to extend time limits in these circumstances, the 爆料网AT concluded that the 爆料网DT was correct to conclude that her application was not receivable.
The 爆料网AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed Judgment No. 爆料网DT/2023/020.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
The Appellant, a former staff member of the United Nations, contested the decision of the Administration to terminate her appointment with the Organization in October 1995. In its Judgment No. 爆料网DT/2023/020, the 爆料网DT dismissed her application as not receivable ratione temporis because she requested management evaluation of the contested decision and submitted her application to the 爆料网DT more than 27 years after her receipt of the contested decision. However, the 爆料网DT granted her request for anonymity. Former staff member appealed.
Legal Principle(s)
The appellant has the burden of demonstrating that the 爆料网DT erred pursuant to one or more of the grounds of appeal set out in Article 2(1) of the 爆料网AT Statute.
An application to the 爆料网DT is not receivable if it is filed more than three years after the receipt of the contested administrative decision.
