2015-Ģ��ƵAT-497

Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT considered two applications, one for correction and one for revision, relating to judgment No. 2013-Ģ��ƵAT-363. Ģ��ƵAT held that Mr Chaaban failed to show any clerical or arithmetical mistake to justify the correction of the judgment. Ģ��ƵAT held that Mr Chaaban failed to identify any decisive fact unknown at the time of the judgment to warrant its revision. Ģ��ƵAT dismissed both applications.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

In judgment No. 2013-Ģ��ƵAT-363, Ģ��ƵAT affirmed the Ģ��ƵRWA DT��s time-bar finding. Ģ��ƵAT held that Mr Chaaban did not allege any special circumstances that had prevented him from submitting a timely application, but argued that Ģ��ƵRWA DT should have waived the time limit for his application given that it had done so, for a much longer period of time, with respect to the Commissioner-General��s late reply.

Legal Principle(s)

An application seeking review of a final judgment rendered by Ģ��ƵAT can only succeed it if fulfils the strict and exceptional criteria established under its Statute.
