Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT held that the Appellant was caught in the transition between the old and new internal justice systems. Ģ��ƵAT noted that the Appellant had requested an extension of the time limit to file an application with the former Administrative Tribunal and that it was questionable if anyone could have granted an extension since the new Ģ��ƵDT had not officially started and the former Administrative Tribunal was winding down. Ģ��ƵAT, therefore, held that the case should be remanded to Ģ��ƵDT for consideration on merits. Ģ��ƵAT upheld the appeal, vacated the Ģ��ƵDT judgment, and remanded the case to Ģ��ƵDT for a hearing on the merits.
