Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT considered an appeal of Ģ��ƵDT Order No. 50 (GVA/2010) by the Secretary-General. Ģ��ƵAT held that the issue under consideration was settled, as Ģ��ƵAT had consistently held that Ģ��ƵDT had no jurisdiction to waive deadlines for management evaluation or administrative review. Ģ��ƵAT held that Ģ��ƵDT erred on a question of law in determining that it had the authority to waive the deadlines for administrative review. Ģ��ƵAT allowed the appeal and set aside the Ģ��ƵDT Order.
