蘑菇视频AT Held or 蘑菇视频DT Pronouncements
The Tribunal dismissed the application on the merits.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
The Applicant, a Russian translator at the P-3 step 15 level in the Russian Translation Services (“RTS”) in the Department for General Assembly and Conference Management (“DGACM”) contested his non-selection for a P-4 level post with the RTS/DGACM in New York, contending that the written test for the Post was improperly conducted because he was required to type his response on a computer, a condition not specified in the job advertisement.
Legal Principle(s)
Typing a written test on a computer: The Appeals Tribunal in Krioutchkov 蘑菇视频AT-2016-707 held that, in the particular circumstances of the case, it was lawful to require all the candidates to type their written test on a computer. As the present case concerns precisely the same selection process, and nothing of significant relevance distinguishes the circumstances of the present case from those of Krioutchkov 蘑菇视频AT-2016-707, the Tribunal therefore finds that it was lawful for the Administration to require all candidates to type their responses to the written test on a computer.
