Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

The Appellant challenged Ģ��ƵRWA DT��s finding that his application was not receivable ratione materiae. Ģ��ƵAT held that the appeal was not receivable ratione materiae as he did not make a timely request for management evaluation. Ģ��ƵAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the Ģ��ƵRWA DT judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The staff member contested two decisions: the first, not to reassign him or short-list him to a P-4 level post, and the second, not to select him for a P-5 level post. Ģ��ƵRWA DT dismissed his application as not receivable on the grounds that he did not make a timely request for a review of these decisions.

Legal Principle(s)

The time limit within which to request a review of an administrative decision starts running with the notification of that administrative decision. Neither the Ģ��ƵRWA Dispute Tribunal nor Ģ��ƵAT may suspend, waive or extend the deadline for review.
