��DT/2011/167

��AT Held or ��DT Pronouncements

��DT held that the application did not meet the test as set out in Article 2.2 of the ��DT Statute, specifically noting that it failed to meet the requirements for irreparable damage and particular urgency. ��DT therefore considered it unnecessary to determine the issue of prima facie unlawfulness.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested the decision to advertise externally a post and requested ��DT to order the recruitment process be suspended pending management evaluation.

Legal Principle(s)

For ��DT to suspend the implementation of an administrative decision, the decision must appear to be prima facie unlawful, it must concern a matter of particular urgency, and implementation of the decision would cause irreparable damage.
