Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that an expression of interest by a staff member in the renewal of his or her appointment does not create a right of renewal. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the document that Ms Beaudry signed acknowledging her performance rating and the recommendation of her supervisor for no further extension of her appointment was decisive documentary evidence in the case; she knew that the section of the form, providing details of the justification for the recommendation for non-extension, was not completed and nonetheless acknowledged the recommendation. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the Administration was entitled to rely on Ms Beaudry¡¯s acknowledgement and acceptance of the recommendation of non-renewal. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT erred on a question of fact resulting in a manifestly unreasonable decision in finding that the non-renewal of the Appellant¡¯s appointment was in breach of her rights. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that there were no grounds to support the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT finding that Ms Beaudry was entitled to compensation. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that there was no basis for the orders of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT with respect to Ms Beaudry¡¯s request for a waiver of the time limit to allow her to submit a rebuttal of her performance appraisal. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT vacated the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT judgment and affirmed the decision not to renew Ms Beaudry¡¯s appointment.
