2013-Ģ��ƵAT-323

Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT considered an application for revision of judgment No. 2011-Ģ��ƵAT-154. Ģ��ƵAT held that the new evidence was irrelevant because the case was not receivable; neither Ģ��ƵDT nor Ģ��ƵAT had jurisdiction to hear Mr. Sims�� case. Ģ��ƵAT denied the application.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

Previous Ģ��ƵAT judgment: The Applicant challenged the restriction placed on his access to the Ģ��Ƶ Office in Vienna. Ģ��ƵDT rejected the application, finding that a retiree who volunteered as counsel did not have a contractual relationship with the Ģ��Ƶ and thus, no right to challenge the Secretary-General��s decision. In judgment No. 2011-Ģ��ƵAT-154, Ģ��ƵAT affirmed the Ģ��ƵDT judgment.

Legal Principle(s)

In an application for revision of judgment, any new evidence is irrelevant if Ģ��ƵAT has no jurisdiction.

Appeal dismissed on receivability
