Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT considered the application for revision of judgment No. 2010-Ģ��ƵAT-014 by Mr Luvai. Ģ��ƵAT considered the allegation that the Legal Officer who was assigned to the case before Ģ��ƵDT was a Facebook ��friend�� of Judge Boolell, the then Ģ��ƵDT President, and of a few other people who could have been tangentially involved in the issues of the underlying dispute and that Judge Boolell somehow influenced the judge sitting on the instant case to rule improperly. Ģ��ƵAT held that Mr Luvai offered not a shred of proof of anything improper. Ģ��ƵAT denied the application.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

In judgment No. 2010-Ģ��ƵAT-014, Ģ��ƵAT affirmed the Ģ��ƵDT judgment No. Ģ��ƵDT/2009/74 which had found that no rights of Mr Luvai had been breached by a vacancy announcement and that he failed to prove his other allegations.

Legal Principle(s)

An application for revision of judgment may be made on the basis of the discovery of a decisive fact which was, at the time the judgment was rendered, unknown to Ģ��ƵAT and to the party applying for revision, provided that such ignorance was not due to negligence.
