2013-Ģ��ƵAT-392

Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT considered Mr Maghari��s application for revision of judgment No. 2010-Ģ��ƵAT-039. Ģ��ƵAT held that the application was receivable ratione temporis. Ģ��ƵAT held that the grounds filed did not fall within Article 11(1) of the Ģ��ƵAT Statute and did not constitute a decisive fact which was, at the time the judgment was rendered, known to Ģ��ƵAT and to the party applying for revision. Ģ��ƵAT held that Mr Maghari merely disagreed with the Ģ��ƵAT decision and sought to reargue his appeal. Ģ��ƵAT dismissed the application for revision.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

In judgment No. 2010-Ģ��ƵAT-039, Ģ��ƵAT affirmed the Commissioner-General��s decision to dismiss Mr Maghari��s appeal.

Legal Principle(s)

An application for revision is not a substitute for an appeal. A revision of a final judgment is an exceptional procedure and not an additional opportunity for a party to re-litigate arguments that failed at trial or on appeal.
