2011-Ģ��ƵAT-104

Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT considered an appeal of judgment No. Ģ��ƵDT/2010/061 on compensation. Ģ��ƵAT held that, as it had previously overturned the judgment on the merits (which found in favour of Mr Sanwidi), the foundation for an award of compensation no longer existed and the appeal was moot. Ģ��ƵAT held that the judgment on compensation was automatically vacated when it overturned the judgment on the merits. Ģ��ƵAT dismissed the appeal and vacated the Ģ��ƵDT judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested the decision to summarily dismiss him for serious misconduct. Ģ��ƵDT issued judgment No. Ģ��ƵDT/2010/036 on the merits and judgment No. Ģ��ƵDT/2010/061 on compensation. Subsequently, in judgment No. 2010-Ģ��ƵAT-084, Ģ��ƵAT set aside judgment No. Ģ��ƵDT/2010/036.

Legal Principle(s)

A judgment on compensation is automatically vacated if the corresponding judgment on the merits, which is the foundation for the award of compensation, is overturned.
