Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT held that neither Article 11 of the Ģ��ƵAT Statute nor Article 2(7)(b) of the Ģ��ƵDT Statute conferred any jurisdiction to hear an application for revision of a judgment of the former Ģ��Ƶ Administrative Tribunal. Ģ��ƵAT held that the application before Ģ��ƵDT was not receivable because Ģ��ƵDT had no jurisdiction to hear the application. Ģ��ƵAT held that, while it confirmed the Ģ��ƵDT��s conclusion, it found that Ģ��ƵDT, in reaching its conclusion, relied on the wrong reasons and failed to follow the binding jurisprudence of Ģ��ƵAT. Ģ��ƵAT dismissed the appeal.
