L¡¯±¬ÁÏÍøAT a rejet¨¦ la demande d¡¯anonymat de l¡¯appelant car la question soulev¨¦e dans son appel ¨¦tait purement proc¨¦durale et juridictionnelle et ne concernait aucune donn¨¦e personnelle devant ¨ºtre prot¨¦g¨¦e.

L¡¯±¬ÁÏÍøAT a ¨¦galement rejet¨¦ la demande d¡¯audience de l¡¯appelant, estimant que cela n¡¯aiderait pas le Tribunal d¡¯appel ¨¤ r¨¦gler l¡¯affaire de mani¨¨re rapide et ¨¦quitable.

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que le requ¨¦rant ayant d¨¦pos¨¦ sa requ¨ºte 93 jours apr¨¨s la r¨¦ception de la d¨¦cision administrative contest¨¦e, celle-ci n'¨¦tait pas recevable, sauf renonciation au d¨¦lai par le Tribunal. L¡¯±¬ÁÏÍøAT a observ¨¦ qu¡¯¨¦tant...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT denied the Appellant¡¯s request for anonymity as the issue presented in his appeal was purely procedural and jurisdictional and did not involve any personal data which had to be protected.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT also denied the Appellant¡¯s request for an oral hearing, finding that that it would not assist the Appeals Tribunal in the expeditious and fair disposal of the case.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that because the Appellant filed his application 93 days after the receipt of the contested administrative decision, it was not receivable, absent waiver of the deadline of the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT observed that given...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a examin¨¦ un appel du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral.

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que l'administration de l'examen ¨¦crit sur les affaires de s¨¦curit¨¦ dans la pr¨¦sente affaire n'avait pas respect¨¦ les normes minimales d¨¦taill¨¦es dans Chhikara. L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a not¨¦ que l'Administration avait d'abord administr¨¦ le test, analys¨¦ les r¨¦sultats, et qu'ensuite seulement elle avait d¨¦cid¨¦ que certaines questions devaient ¨ºtre ¨¦limin¨¦es de l'examen. L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que la suppression inopin¨¦e et ex post de questions de l'examen ¨¦crit, apr¨¨s que celui-ci ait d¨¦j¨¤ ¨¦t¨¦ corrig¨¦, violait ¨¤ premi¨¨re vue l'obligation d'administrer...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the administration of the written security affairs exam in the present case had not met the minimum standards detailed in Chhikara. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT noted that the Administration had first administered the test, analyzed the results, and only then had decided that certain questions should be eliminated from consideration. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that the unannounced and ex post deletion of questions from the written examination, after it had already been marked, on its very face violated the obligation to administer the test in a...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a examin¨¦ un appel interjet¨¦ par le fonctionnaire.

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a constat¨¦ que le rapport de recommandation ne fournissait aucune explication permettant de comprendre la justification de la d¨¦cision de non-s¨¦lection. L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a not¨¦ qu'aucune information n'avait ¨¦t¨¦ fournie au cours de la proc¨¦dure judiciaire quant aux raisons pour lesquelles le candidat externe ¨¦tait le candidat le plus appropri¨¦. L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que, dans un souci de raisonnabilit¨¦, d'¨¦quit¨¦ et de transparence, l'Administration ¨¦tait cens¨¦e fournir des raisons pertinentes et v¨¦ritables ¨¤ l'appui de son choix final. L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT considered an appeal by the staff member.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that the recommendation report did not provide any explanation to understand the rationale of the non-selection decision. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT noted that no information had been given in the course of the judicial proceedings either as to why the external candidate was the most suitable candidate. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that, for the sake of reasonableness, fairness and transparency, it was expected from the Administration to give relevant and true reasons supporting its ultimate choice. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT had made an error of fact...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a examin¨¦ un appel interjet¨¦ par le fonctionnaire.

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que le raisonnement suivi par le DT de l'±¬ÁÏÍøRWA pour refuser une audience parce que le fonctionnaire n'avait pas ¨¦tabli que son recours ¨¦tait recevable ¨¦tait ex post facto et, par cons¨¦quent, erron¨¦.

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a constat¨¦ qu'il y avait une erreur dans le calcul de l'indemnit¨¦ par le DT de l'±¬ÁÏÍøRWA en remplacement de l'annulation de la d¨¦cision de non-s¨¦lection, car il n'y avait aucune preuve pour ¨¦tayer la conclusion selon laquelle l'±¬ÁÏÍøRWA l'aurait jug¨¦ inapte ¨¤ occuper ce poste ¨¤ la fin de la p¨¦riode. p¨¦riode de probation.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT considered an appeal by the staff member.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT¡¯s reasoning for refusing an oral hearing because the staff member failed to establish that her appeal was receivable, was ex post facto and, thereby, erroneous.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that there was an error in the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT¡¯s calculation of compensation in lieu of rescission of the non-selection decision as there was no evidence to support the conclusion that the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA would have found her unsuitable for the role at the end of the probationary period.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT was of the view that the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT¡¯s methodology of fixing...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal n'avait pas commis d'erreur en concluant que les faits ¨¤ l'origine de la r¨¦primande ¨¦crite ¨¦taient ¨¦tablis. L¡¯±¬ÁÏÍøAT a reconnu que le plaidoyer de Mme Kamara-Joyner en faveur d¡¯un membre individuel du personnel ne relevait pas de ses r?les et fonctions, tant en sa qualit¨¦ de charg¨¦e de r¨¦solution des conflits pour l¡¯±¬ÁÏÍøOMS que de pr¨¦sidente de l¡¯±¬ÁÏÍøPAD. L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a constat¨¦ que Mme Kamara-Joyner n'avait pas express¨¦ment demand¨¦ l'approbation du conflit d'int¨¦r¨ºts entre ses deux fonctions et avait refus¨¦ de suivre les instructions visant ¨¤ ¨¦liminer le conflit d'int¨¦r¨ºts...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT did not err in finding that the facts underlying the written reprimand were established. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT agreed that Ms. Kamara-Joyner¡¯s advocacy for an individual staff member was outside of her roles and duties in both her capacity as a Conflict Resolution Officer for ±¬ÁÏÍøOMS and as President of ±¬ÁÏÍøPAD. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that Ms. Kamara-Joyner failed to expressly seek approval for the conflict of interest between her two roles and refused to follow instructions on removing the conflict of interest. Accordingly, she was subject to a disciplinary or administrative measure. The...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que la DT de l'±¬ÁÏÍøRWA n'avait pas commis d'erreur en accordant une indemnit¨¦ compensatrice. Elle a examin¨¦ ¨¤ juste titre les chances de M. Fanous d¡¯¨ºtre s¨¦lectionn¨¦ pour le poste lorsqu¡¯elle a d¨¦clar¨¦ qu¡¯elle consid¨¦rait qu¡¯il n¡¯y avait aucune garantie d¡¯une s¨¦lection future. La DT de l¡¯±¬ÁÏÍøRWA a appliqu¨¦ un montant forfaitaire sp¨¦cifique au contexte. Elle a pris en compte la probabilit¨¦ de s¨¦lection et le salaire de M. Fanous ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦poque. Elle a rendu une d¨¦cision qui ¨¦tait juste et juste dans le cas pr¨¦sent, mais a ¨¦galement adopt¨¦ une approche fond¨¦e sur des principes qui a pris...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT did not err in its award of in-lieu compensation. It appropriately considered Mr. Fanous¡¯ chance of selection for the post when it stated that it considered there was no guarantee of a future selection. The ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT applied a context-specific lump sum amount. It considered the likelihood of selection and Mr. Fanous¡¯ salary at the time. It made a determination that was fair and just in the present case but also took a principled approach that considered all relevant considerations.

As to Mr. Fanous¡¯ request for moral damages, with regard to the First and...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a examin¨¦ un appel du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral de l'OMM. L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que le fonctionnaire cherchait ¨¤ adh¨¦rer ¨¤ une modification convenue de son contrat qui, en ¨¦change d'un raccourcissement de sa dur¨¦e d'emploi, lui donnait droit ¨¤ une indemnit¨¦ de licenciement.

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a not¨¦ que le Tribunal avait eu raison d'¨¦tablir comme condition de recevabilit¨¦ l'effet direct et n¨¦gatif provoqu¨¦ par la mise en ?uvre de la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e. L¡¯±¬ÁÏÍøAT ¨¦tait d¡¯avis que la d¨¦cision de l¡¯OMM visant ¨¤ r¨¦silier son accord affectait les projets professionnels et personnels ¨¦tablis par le fonctionnaire...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General of WMO.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that the staff member was seeking to adhere to an agreed variation to his contract which, in return for foreshortening his period of employment, entitled him to a termination indemnity. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT noted that the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT had been correct in establishing a direct and negative effect, brought about by the implementation of the contested decision, as a condition for receivability.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT was of the view that WMO¡¯s decision purporting to rescind its agreement affected the staff member¡¯s established career and personal...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que l'±¬ÁÏÍøDT avait commis une erreur en estimant que l'administration avait mal interpr¨¦t¨¦ l'une des exigences pour le poste annonc¨¦ dans le JO 127555, ¨¤ savoir ? l'exp¨¦rience dans la direction de grandes ¨¦quipes ?, comme exigeant une exp¨¦rience de la supervision directe de 10 personnes ou plus. L¡¯±¬ÁÏÍøAT a en outre estim¨¦ que l¡¯avis de vacance permettait une interpr¨¦tation contextuelle dans la mesure o¨´ le sens litt¨¦ral du terme ? diriger ? est tr¨¨s g¨¦n¨¦ral et ne permet pas, en soi, de comprendre exactement le sens voulu. Par cons¨¦quent, l¡¯±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ qu¡¯il ¨¦tait raisonnable pour...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT erred in holding that the Administration misinterpreted one of the requirements for the position advertised in JO 127555, namely ¡°experience in leading large teams¡±, as requiring experience of direct supervision of 10 people or more. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT further found that the vacancy announcement allowed for a such contextual interpretation as the literal meaning of ¡°lead¡± is very general and does not, by itself, allow for an exact comprehension of the intended meaning. Therefore, the ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that it was reasonable for the Administration to interpret the requirement of...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que l'appel contre les deux ordonnances interlocutoires ¨¦tait devenu sans objet apr¨¨s le prononc¨¦ du jugement n¡ã ±¬ÁÏÍøDT/2022/124 et que l'±¬ÁÏÍøDT n'avait pas commis d'erreur en rendant son jugement pendant la dur¨¦e de cet appel. L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a n¨¦anmoins observ¨¦ que l'±¬ÁÏÍøDT avait commis une erreur de droit en imposant un d¨¦lai d¨¦raisonnablement court pour se conformer ¨¤ l'ordonnance n¡ã 157 (NBI/2022). Malgr¨¦ cela, l'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a conclu que, la proc¨¦dure ¨¦tant irrecevable, cette conclusion n'¨¦tait pas d'une grande aide pour l'appelant dans sa cause. Concernant l'ordonnance n¡ã 158 (NBI/2022), l...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the appeal against the two interlocutory Orders became moot following the issuance of Judgment No. ±¬ÁÏÍøDT/2022/124 and that the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT did not err in delivering its Judgment during the pendency of that appeal. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT nevertheless observed that the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT erred in law by imposing an unreasonably short period for compliance with Order No. 157 (NBI/2022). Despite this, the ±¬ÁÏÍøAT concluded that, as the proceeding was unreceivable, this finding did not assist the Appellant in his case. With regard to Order No. 158 (NBI/2022), the ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT rightfully refused to...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a examin¨¦ un appel interjet¨¦ par le fonctionnaire.

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal n'avait pas commis d'erreur de fait en n'ayant pas consid¨¦r¨¦ la cessation de service, mentionn¨¦e dans l'avis de cessation de service, comme le motif de la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e ; la mention de la retraite n¡¯avait aucune incidence sur la cessation de service du fonctionnaire. L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que la lettre l'informant de l'expiration de son engagement de dur¨¦e d¨¦termin¨¦e ¨¦tait conforme ¨¤ la suppression du poste qu'elle occupait.

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a not¨¦ que le contr?le judiciaire dans le contexte d'une suspension d...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT considered an appeal by the staff member.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT had not erred in fact when it had not considered separation on retirement, mentioned in the separation notice, to be the reason for the contested decision; the mention of retirement had no import on the staff member¡¯s separation. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT was of the view that the letter informing her of the expiry of her fixed-term appointment was in line with the abolition of the post she encumbered.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT noted that judicial review in the context of suspension of action is different from the review conducted by the Tribunal...
