Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT held that Ms Mpacko��s claims addressed the merits of the Ģ��ƵDT decision and did not amount to claims that the Ģ��ƵDT exceeded its competence or jurisdiction in denying her application for suspension of action. Ģ��ƵAT held that Ģ��ƵDT did not exceed its competence or jurisdiction in denying Ms Mpacko��s application for suspension of action. Ģ��ƵAT held that the appeal was not receivable.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

Ms Mpacko filed an application for suspension of action of the decision to reassign her. Ģ��ƵDT denied her application for suspension of action pending management evaluation of the decision on the grounds that there was no particular urgency as required by Article 2. 2 of the Ģ��ƵDT Statute.

Legal Principle(s)

Generally, only appeals against final judgments are receivable; however, when it is clear that Ģ��ƵDT has exceeded its jurisdiction or competence, an interlocutory appeal will be receivable.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed on receivability
