2014-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-410, Igbinedion
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT did not act lawfully in issuing an order in direct contravention of the established Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT jurisprudence. However, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT also held that parties before Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT must obey its binding decisions and that a decision by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT remained legally valid until such time as Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT vacated it. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the Secretary-General¡¯s refusal to comply with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT¡¯s order was vexatious. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT reiterated its jurisprudence that the absence of compliance may merit contempt proceedings. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT upheld the appeal in part.
