��AT Held or ��DT Pronouncements

The Tribunal held that regarding the Applicant��s requests for compensation for time spent since she separated from the Organisation, salary arrears, interest of 15% paid on compensation and salary arrears and the reimbursement of the expenses incurred on medical bills these claims were not awarded by the ��DT Judgment and such could not be claimed as part of the execution. As such, all the four claims were rejected. However, the Tribunal found that the only issue relevant to the execution of the ��DT Judgment that was still pending was the interest due on awards granted therein. Accordingly, the Tribunal directed the Respondent to calculate and pay the Applicant the difference between any interest previously paid and the outstanding compounded interest on the compensation awarded by Judgment No. ��DT/2015/004, taking as basis the prime US rate from 18 March 2015 until 17 May 2015 and with additional 5% counted from 18 May 2015 until the day of payment.
