Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT rejected the request for an oral hearing. Ģ��ƵAT held that there was no merit in the Appellant��s claim that he should be considered a Ģ��Ƶ staff member because he worked with Ģ��ƵOPS for over three years. Ģ��ƵAT concluded that Ģ��ƵDT correctly decided that the application was not receivable ratione personae. Ģ��ƵAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the Ģ��ƵDT judgment.
