Unat a consid¨¦r¨¦ un appel du secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral. En ce qui concerne la cr¨¦ance, contrairement ¨¤ l'affirmation de M.

2013-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-306, Ming Wu
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT considered an appeal by Mr Wu and a cross-appeal by the Secretary-General. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the cross-appeal was receivable, despite it being a default judgment and the Secretary-General not having been allowed to participate in the proceedings or to file a reply. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the application was not receivable ratione materiae on the basis that he had not made a timely request for management evaluation. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that therefore Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT had no jurisdiction to address the merits of the claims in the application and those claims were not properly before Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT for consideration. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that...
2017-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-763, Crotty
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the decision to terminate Mr. Crotty due to abolition of post was never implemented because he obtained another position with the Organisation and that this rendered moot the Administration¡¯s decision to terminate him. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the administrative decision was no longer a live issue and Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT was not competent to pass judgment on the application. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT made an error of law when it found Mr. Crotty¡¯s application receivable. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that in light of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT¡¯s error in receiving the application, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT¡¯s...
2017-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-764, Zachariah
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT correctly determined that Mr. Zachariah was challenging an administrative decision that produced direct legal consequences affecting his employment. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that there was no merit to the complaint that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT erred in law and exceeded its jurisdiction by considering matters beyond the scope of Mr. Zachariah¡¯s request for management evaluation and the Management Evaluation Unit¡¯s response, on the basis that it was the role of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT to adequately interpret and comprehend the application and that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT had the inherent power to...
2017-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-766, Alsado
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the decision to terminate Mr Alsado due to abolition of post was never implemented because he obtained another position with the Organisation and that this rendered moot the Administration¡¯s decision to terminate him. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the administrative decision was no longer a live issue and Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT was not competent to pass judgment on the application. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT made an error of law when it found Mr Alsado¡¯s application receivable. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that in light of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT¡¯s error in receiving the application, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT¡¯s...
2017-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-762, Lemmonier
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. On the issue of receivability, contrary to Mr Lemonnier¡¯s contention that the Secretary-General¡¯s appeal is not receivable because the impugned judgment did not award him any damages and was mere ¡°a moral victory¡±, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that success before Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT depends on whether the staff member¡¯s application is granted, in whole or in part, not on the remedy afforded to the staff member, and that the staff member may prevail or succeed on his claim(s) without receiving an award of damages. According to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT, as the unsuccessful party before Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT, the...
2017-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-752, Baguma et al.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the Appellants had raised neither factual difference nor legal issues different from those canvassed in companion cases and disposed of in judgment No. 2017-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-750 (Kagizi et al. ) and Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT, therefore, adopted the reasoning from its prior judgment at paragraphs 18-27. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT dismissed the appeals and affirmed the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT judgments.
2017-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-740, Auda
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that there was no merit to the Appellant¡¯s claims that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT failed to exercise its jurisdiction or erred in law by using the summary judgment procedure to determine the application was not receivable ratione materiae. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the application to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT did not challenge an administrative decision that was alleged to be in non-compliance with the terms of appointment or the contract of employment of the staff member, rather the Appellant challenged the MEU¡¯s wording in a letter to him acknowledging the receipt of his grievance or complaint. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT did not err in law...
2017-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-730, El-Kholy
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the central question before it was whether the Organisation complied with its obligation to Ms. El-Kholy to find her a suitable post. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the Administration failed in its obligation to demonstrate that all reasonable and good faith efforts had been made to consider the staff member for available and suitable posts within Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDP before terminating her permanent appointment. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the Administration¡¯s obligation to find a vacant and suitable post did not shift to the Appellant, regardless of the following: her...
2017-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-731, Nikwigize
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT noted that there was no dispute as to the applicable statutory provision governing the timeliness of the Appellant¡¯s application to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT or that management evaluation was not required as the Appellant was challenging a disciplinary measure. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the Appellant¡¯s application was not receivable ratione temporis, noting that the Appellant himself acknowledged that his application was untimely. On the Appellant¡¯s claim that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT erred in not waiving the time limit for him to file the application due to exceptional circumstances, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT correctly applied judgment No. 2011...
2017-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-727, Khan
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT upheld the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT ruling that the 2010 decisions were time-barred and not receivable ratione temporis. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT acted ultra vires or in excess of its competence and jurisdiction by considering whether the Appellant had shown exceptional circumstances justifying a waiver of the filing deadline, and thus held that the relevant paragraphs of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT judgment were obiter dicta and should be stricken. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT erred in holding the Appellant¡¯s motion or request for waiver of the deadline as not receivable ratione temporis on the basis that while it was not timely, that did...
2017-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-717, Yousef
After Mr. Yousef¡¯s appeal and the Commissioner-General¡¯s cross-appeal had been submitted, Mr. Yourself filed a motion to withdraw the appeal based on the fact that an internal settlement had been agreed with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA and the Commissioner-General filed a motion to withdraw the cross-appeal. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT directed the Registrar to close the case.
2017-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-715, Charot
On the issue of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT¡¯s denial of the Appellant¡¯s request for confidentiality, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT did not err in law or fact in denying her request as if confidentiality were attached to the identity of each staff member, there would be no transparency. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT did not admit into evidence additional documents as they were of no assistance to it and there were no exceptional circumstances. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the Appellant merely gave passing reference to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT Statute¡¯s grounds of appeal and offered no legal authority to support her claims. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT agreed with the characterization of the issue by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT...
2016-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-683, Featherstonet al.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT considered the Secretary-General¡¯s appeal. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT upheld Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT¡¯s determination and noted that it gave a clear directive to the Administration that, upon remand, it should consider staff member¡¯s suitability for conversion to a permanent appointment ¡°by reference to the relevant circumstances as they stood at the time of the first impugned refusal to convert her appointment¡± and that the Administration failed to comply with the said directive. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT also agreed with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT that the Assistant Secretary-General for Office of Human Resources Management failed to give any consideration whatsoever to...
2016-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-684, Ademagic et al.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT considered the Secretary-General¡¯s appeal and Ademagic¡¯s cross-appeal.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT noted that it gave a clear directive to the Administration that, upon remand, it should consider the staff members¡¯ suitability for conversion to permanent appointments ¡°by reference to the relevant circumstances as they stood at the time of the first impugned refusal to convert their...
