Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT held that the Appellant did not fall under any of the categories of potential applicants and had no legal standing before Ģ��ƵDT. Ģ��ƵAT held that, accordingly, the Appellant had no standing before Ģ��ƵAT and therefore Ģ��ƵAT had no competence to address the merits of her claims. Ģ��ƵAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the Ģ��ƵDT judgment.
