Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT Held or Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT Pronouncements
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT considered the Appellant¡¯s appeal and found that the Appellant exceeded the mandatory time limit for requesting management evaluation of the contested decision. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the application for suspension of action during the pendency of management evaluation was rightly declared not receivable as it was time-barred. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT did not exceed or wrongly exercise its jurisdiction in rejecting the suspension of action. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT dismissed the appeal and upheld the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT judgment.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
The Applicant requested a suspension of the non-renewal of his contract. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT found the Applicant¡¯s suspension request was not receivable as time-barred, as he had failed to submit a request for management evaluation within the mandatory time limit.
Legal Principle(s)
A judgment issued following a request for suspension of action during the pendency of management evaluation shall not be subject to appeal. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT cannot waive or suspend the deadlines for management evaluation.
