2013-Ģ��ƵAT-337, Leal

28 Jun 2013

Ģ��ƵAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. Ģ��ƵAT held that grounds existed to discharge Mr Leal for misconduct, without needing to address the issue of the alleged circumvention of the recruitment process for the purposes of hiring. Ģ��ƵAT held that the misconduct and disciplinary measure of dismissal fell within the discretion of the Secretary-General and could not be seen as disproportionate to the offences unless it was the result of proven abuse or arbitrary exercise of that discretion. Ģ��ƵAT held that the key elements of Mr Leal��s due process were met. Ģ��ƵAT held that, since the...

2014-Ģ��ƵAT-433-Corr.1, Hersh

27 Jun 2014

Ģ��ƵAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. Ģ��ƵAT held that Ģ��ƵDT had correctly stated that even if it could be argued that the profile of the Broadcast Technology Officer (BTO P-4) post had changed due to the drafting of new Terms of Reference (TOR) by Ms Hermann, the only viable course of action in the circumstances for the purposes of filling it would have been a regular, competitive selection process and not a comparative review as happened in this case. Ģ��ƵAT held that Ģ��ƵDT was correct in finding that the so-called comparative review between Ms Hersh and Mr Tobgyal for the only post...

2014-Ģ��ƵAT-450, Bali

27 Jun 2014

Ģ��ƵAT considered the Secretary-General��s appeal and noted that the Secretary-General has broad discretion in matters of staff selection. Ģ��ƵAT found that the extensive correspondence between Mr Bali and management indicated that he was aware that his candidature would be considered along with all other applicants, and that his name was placed on a roster of pre-approved candidates for potential consideration for future job openings with similar functions at the Secretariat. Ģ��ƵAT also noted that Mr Bali was encouraged by the Office of Human Resources Management��s (OHRM) advocacy and information...

2014-Ģ��ƵAT-436, Walden

27 Jun 2014

Ģ��ƵAT considered appeals by both the staff member and the Commissioner-General. Ģ��ƵAT held that the fact was undisputed that the staff member knowingly presented non-existent credentials despite questioning the ethics of accepting the document with his qualifications. Ģ��ƵAT held that termination was not disproportionate to the offence, taking into account that the staff member��s recruitment, in the first instance, was predicated on the existence of a degree subsequently established to be without merit and which never would have qualified him for selection by the Organisation. Ģ��ƵAT held that Ģ��ƵRWA...

2014-Ģ��ƵAT-425, Simmons

2 Apr 2014

Regarding the non-selection for the Programme Budget Officer post, Ģ��ƵAT held that the Appellant had failed to produce sufficient evidence to prove the impropriety in the decision making. Ģ��ƵAT held that the Appellant had also failed to put forward any specific evidence substantiating her claim of discrimination, bias, and retaliation to warrant a reversal of the Ģ��ƵDT��s findings. Regarding the cancellation of the Administrative Officer post, Ģ��ƵAT held that the Administration had provided sufficient evidence to show that the cancellation of the post was based on Organisational and budgetary...

2014-Ģ��ƵAT-416, Charles

2 Apr 2014

Ģ��ƵAT considered both the two appeals by the Secretary-General and two cross-appeals by Mr Charles in judgment No. 2014-Ģ��ƵAT-416. Ģ��ƵAT held that that Section 9 of ST/AI/2010/3 was clear in giving the head of department/office the discretion to make a selection decision from candidates included in the roster. Ģ��ƵAT held that it was not open to Ģ��ƵDT to conclude that Section 9. 4 required the head of department/office to first review all non-rostered candidates before selecting a rostered candidate. Ģ��ƵAT held that Ģ��ƵDT erred in law in deciding that the appointment of the rostered candidates was...

2015-Ģ��ƵAT-556, Scheepers et al

2 Jul 2015

Ģ��ƵAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. On the question of whether Ģ��ƵDT erred in finding that the five years�� experience requirement was arbitrary and not based on any proper consideration, Ģ��ƵAT held that, absent any proper legal or factual basis upon which to impugn the five years�� experience requirement, Ģ��ƵDT had no function in substituting its judgment for that of the Administration in determining the criteria for the selection of S-3 officers, and in doing so, Ģ��ƵDT erred in law resulting in a manifestly unreasonable decision. Ģ��ƵAT held that Ģ��ƵDT erred in law in deeming the...

2015-Ģ��ƵAT-549, Ogorodnikov

2 Jul 2015

Ģ��ƵAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. Ģ��ƵAT held that the Secretary-General��s appeal was filed on time and was receivable. Ģ��ƵAT held that, since the parties agreed to and identified the facts in their Joint Statement, it was not open to Ģ��ƵDT to conduct its own evaluation and then to substitute its view for that of the parties. Ģ��ƵAT held that the misconduct was of a grave and serious nature and in those circumstances, the sanction of separation was reasonable and not disproportionate and/or arbitrary. Ģ��ƵAT held that Ģ��ƵDT erred when it reversed the Secretary-General��s decision to...
