2013-Ģ��ƵAT-299

Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT held that there was no merit in the appeal as Ģ��ƵDT correctly concluded that applications to Ģ��ƵDT were only receivable if the applicant had previously submitted the contested administrative decision for management evaluation and that management evaluation was a mandatory first step. Ģ��ƵAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the Ģ��ƵDT judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested the alleged decision not to allow a rebuttal process to be carried out in accordance with the applicable norms. Ģ��ƵDT rejected the application as not receivable, as the impugned decision had not been submitted for management evaluation.

Legal Principle(s)

Requesting management evaluation is a mandatory first step in the appeals process.
