±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the Appellant failed to identify the grounds for his appeal and thus, the appeal was defective. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT inferred that the Appellant claimed ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT failed to exercise its jurisdiction. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the legal conclusion of ±¬ÁÏÍøDT that the application before it was not receivable was unassailable. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT did not err when it did not discuss whether the case was an exceptional case for extending, waiving, or suspending the deadline for the filing of the application. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT judgment.

±¬ÁÏÍøAT considered an appeal against Order No. 057 (±¬ÁÏÍøRWA/DT/2014) and judgment No. ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA/DT/2014/027. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT rejected the Appellant¡¯s request for confidentiality and for the redaction of his name from the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT judgment and affirmed ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT¡¯s reasoning. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT denied the Appellant¡¯s request to submit new evidence to ±¬ÁÏÍøAT on the basis that the Appellant did not offer any explanation as to why he was precluded from filing them previously, exceptional circumstances did not exist, and its content would not have affected the decision of the case. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that it was for ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT to consider that it...

±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the additional documents filed by the Appellant were inadmissible in that they were not relevant to the central issue in the present case. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that ±¬ÁÏÍøDT was correct in finding that the Appellant failed to identify a specific decision that had a direct and adverse impact on his contractual rights and thus did not identify an administrative decision capable of being reviewed. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that ±¬ÁÏÍøDT was correct in concluding that there was no evidence of the Appellant having requested management evaluation of any administrative decision, nor any evidence of having submitted...

±¬ÁÏÍøAT considered a request for revision of judgment No. 2013-±¬ÁÏÍøAT-297. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT noted that the application for revision was filed more than six months beyond the time limit. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the application for revision was not receivable ratione temporis. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT dismissed the appeal.

±¬ÁÏÍøAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT allowed the appeal on the grounds that ±¬ÁÏÍøDT erred in reaching the merits of the present case in circumstances where it had confirmed by Order that it would only address receivability as a preliminary issue. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that it disagreed with ±¬ÁÏÍøDT on the matter of receivability and that there was no administrative decision capable of being appealed before ±¬ÁÏÍøDT. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the administrative decision Mr Saffir impugned did not deprive him of his work or affect his function; it was limited to announcing recruitment round to fill three of...

±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that ±¬ÁÏÍøDT did not make an error of law in concluding that the Appellant¡¯s application was not receivable ratione materiae. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that ±¬ÁÏÍøDT correctly concluded that there was no implied administrative decision to challenge at the time the Appellant filed his judicial review application and that his application was also not receivable on that basis. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found no errors of fact or law by ±¬ÁÏÍøDT in awarding costs against the Appellant. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the Appellant was well-aware of his obligation to comply with Staff Rule 11.2(a), yet he: (a) intentionally failed to seek management...

±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that there was nothing arbitrary about the impugned decision of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), ±¬ÁÏÍøJSPF, as it was based on reports by the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund between July 2011 and February 2013. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that good reason had been established for the CEO to decide on 31 July 2011 as the proper date for the suspension of the two-track system in Argentina, notwithstanding that there were previous statements regarding the reliability of the consumer price index (CPI) data in Argentina. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that it was satisfied that such a decision was a proper...

±¬ÁÏÍøAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that resignation results in a break in service, which may, in turn, disqualify a staff member for consideration for a permanent appointment. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that if a staff member took issue with the requirement for a break in service, he or she should have challenged it at the time by requesting management evaluation. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that Mr Hajdari never challenged his separation from service from ±¬ÁÏÍøMIK or, at any time after his arrival in New York, made any request to human resources to be reinstated at the time. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that Mr Hajdari¡¯s...

±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT¡¯s finding regarding the application of ST/AI/2002/3, namely that as the provisions of the ±¬ÁÏÍøFPA Separation Policy contravened the ones in ST/AI/2002/3, the latter should apply, was an error of law and fact as ST/AI/2002/3 was not applicable to ±¬ÁÏÍøFPA. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT rejected ±¬ÁÏÍøDT¡¯s finding that the timing of the decision to terminate the Appellant¡¯s permanent contract for unsatisfactory service meant that a new procedure should have been initiated based on the new period of reference. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that it would be unreasonable to require the Administration to restart the termination...

±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the Appellant, though entitled to receive a summary of the findings of the investigation report, was not entitled to receive a copy of the full investigation report without showing exceptional circumstances, which he did not do and ±¬ÁÏÍøAT, therefore, upheld the findings of ±¬ÁÏÍøDT on this point. On compensation, ±¬ÁÏÍøAT noted that the Appellant presented no evidence to prove that the violation of the three-month deadline undermined the investigation and the outcome of the complaint, or that he suffered actual prejudice. ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the Administration¡¯s offer of USD 1,000 was...
