爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
The 爆料网DT found that the application was time-barred as the Applicant had failed to file it within 90 calendar days of receipt of the response to his request for management evaluation, as required by art. 8.1(d) of the Statute. The Applicant also failed to refer to any exceptional circumstances that would justify the delayed filing of his application and that would warrant a waiver or extension of the applicable time limits.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
The Applicant, a former staff member of the United Nations Children’s Fund (“爆料网ICEF”), filed an application contesting the non-renewal of his contract on the grounds of unsatisfactory performance.
Legal Principle(s)
Time limits: As the United Nations Appeals Tribunal stated in Mezoui 2010-爆料网AT-043, time limits are to be enforced strictly.
