Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT held, noting that the Appellant relied on the Ģ��ƵDT Rosca jurisprudence (judgment No. Ģ��ƵDT/2009/052) in her request for Ģ��ƵDT to waive the time limits for management evaluation, that the plain language of Article 8. 3 of the Ģ��ƵDT Statute could not be disregarded. Ģ��ƵAT approved judgment No. Ģ��ƵDT/2009/051 as the law on this issue and disapproved the interpretation of Ģ��ƵDT in Rosca. Ģ��ƵAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the Ģ��ƵDT judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant sought an extension of the time limit for her appeal regarding compensation for overtime. Ģ��ƵDT rejected her application on the grounds that she did not file it within two months of the receipt of the impugned decision, rather she waited almost a year to do so. Ģ��ƵDT held that it had no jurisdiction to waive the time limits for requests for management evaluation or requests for administrative review.

Legal Principle(s)

Ģ��ƵDT has no jurisdiction to waive the time limits for requests for management evaluation or requests for administrative review.
