蘑菇视频AT Held or 蘑菇视频DT Pronouncements
The 蘑菇视频DT did not err in deciding that Ms. Xing’s candidacy was given a full and fair consideration, in finding that the administrative instruction on gender parity (ST/AI/1999/9) did not apply in this case, and in not granting Ms. Xing’s request to amend her application. The 蘑菇视频DT has not been shown to have erred in requiring credible evidence of a clear and compelling nature of Ms. Xing’s allegations of ulterior motives, which was absent.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
蘑菇视频DT/2020/120, in which 蘑菇视频DT dismissed Ms. Xing’s challenge to her non-selection.
Legal Principle(s)
It is incumbent on a staff member alleging improper motive to establish this and surmount the presumption of regularity. In other words, the extraordinary must rebut the ordinary by clear and convincing evidence. The appellate role is to determine whether applicable rules and regulations have been applied in a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory matter. If so, the Tribunal is not to substitute its decision for that of the Administration. The obligations on selectors, appointers or promoters of staff to provide a written analysis of respective candidates are mandatory so that a failure to comply with this will render the selection process flawed.
