2011-Ģ��ƵAT-181

Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT held that the Appellant failed to establish that the Ģ��ƵDP decision to contact the Pakistani Government directly to enquire about its deputation policy was improperly motivated. With regard to the new communication upon which the Appellant wished to rely, Ģ��ƵAT held that it was new evidence, for which leave was required, in order to adduce it before Ģ��ƵAT. Ģ��ƵAT did not find any exceptional circumstances existed to require it to consider the new evidence. Ģ��ƵAT held that Ģ��ƵDT did not err in taking into consideration the conditions governing the Appellant��s deputation in order to determine his probable period of appointment with Ģ��ƵDP. Ģ��ƵAT held that Ģ��ƵDT correctly determined that it would not be appropriate to order the Appellant��s reinstatement. Ģ��ƵAT held that Ģ��ƵDT correctly assessed the compensation for pecuniary damages and declined to enhance the compensation. Ģ��ƵAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the Ģ��ƵDT judgment.
