Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT considered an appeal against Order No. 057 (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA/DT/2014) and judgment No. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA/DT/2014/027. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT rejected the Appellant¡¯s request for confidentiality and for the redaction of his name from the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA DT judgment and affirmed Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA DT¡¯s reasoning. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT denied the Appellant¡¯s request to submit new evidence to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT 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. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that it was for Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA DT to consider that it...

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that there was nothing arbitrary about the impugned decision of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵJSPF, as it was based on reports by the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund between July 2011 and February 2013. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT 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. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that it was satisfied that such a decision was a proper...

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT had before it three decisions of the Conciliation Committee: the first regarding the establishment of two inquiry panels, Panel One and Panel Two; the second in respect of the decision to place the Appellant on administrative leave with pay, and the third concerning the decision to separate her from service. As a preliminary matter, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT did not admit to the case file two motions submitted by the Appellant subsequent to the issuance of judgment No. 2015-Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT-531, as Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the documents that she sought to adduce would not assist Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT with its consideration on the merits. By way of...

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT considered both an appeal by Ms Flores requesting an increase in compensation and a cross-appeal by the Secretary-General. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT did not err in either determining that there were procedural violations that warranted rescission of the separation decision or in its determination that Ms Flores was not entitled to reinstatement (justifying a material award) as her contract was due to expire shortly after receipt of the dismissal letter. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT noted that Ms Flores was not informed prior to the interview what the allegations were. Noting that the records indicated that Ms Flores...

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT correctly determined that it did not have jurisdiction to review the decision to suspend him without pay. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT was alert to the injury which the prolonged delay caused the Appellant. On the Appellant¡¯s complaint that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA DT did not address his complaint regarding the deduction by Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA from his personal Provident Fund contributions upon his dismissal, apparently, to recoup an overpayment, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that there was no merit in the complaint and the Appellant failed to demonstrate any error of law or fact on the part of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA DT when it determined these...

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the nature of the contested decision before Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT was not entirely clear. On the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT¡¯s finding that the Appellant had not adduced any evidence in support of his claim that the Settlement Agreement was imposed upon him by duress and threats, and therefore must fail, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found no error of law or fact in the decision and affirmed the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT judgment on this point. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT failed to deal with the Appellant¡¯s claim of harassment and discrimination. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the Appellant¡¯s right to due process entitlement him to a fair hearing and a fully reasoned judgment of his...

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the Appellant did not address any error of fact or law in the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT judgment. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the irregularities in the procedure did not amount to a breach of the Appellant¡¯s due process rights. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that it was irrelevant whether the Appellant filed his application before Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT in the interests of justice or seeking an award of moral damages since there was no evidence of damages. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT judgment.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT had not addressed the Appellant¡¯s request for an extension of time but had rather converted sua sponte the request into an incomplete application and summarily adjudged the application as not receivable. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT could not have converted sua sponte the Appellant¡¯s request for more time into an application. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT had not afforded the Appellant the opportunity to file an application and had committed several procedural errors, exceeded its jurisdiction and competence, and violated the Appellant¡¯s due process rights. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT vacated the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT judgment and...

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT considered the appeal from Thomas et al. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT had not addressed the Appellants¡¯ request for an extension of time but had rather converted sua sponte the request into incomplete applications and summarily adjudged their applications as not receivable. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT could not have converted sua sponte the Appellants¡¯ request for more time into applications.
