Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

However, the Applicant��s appeal was dated 27 February 2009 and was not received by the Joint Appeals Board until 3 March 2009. The Applicant��s Counsel did not present any exceptional circumstance that prevented him from filing an appeal within the time limits prescribed in the Staff Rules then in effect. Ģ��ƵDT held that the request was therefore irreceivable. Ģ��ƵDT rejected the application.
