2015-蘑菇视频AT-544, Nartey
蘑菇视频AT considered the appeal of the Secretary-General and the cross-appeal of Mr Nartey. 蘑菇视频AT held that 蘑菇视频DT made an error of law when it found the decision to deny Mr Nartey’s request to grant him a lien on his post was an abuse of authority. 蘑菇视频AT held that Mr Nartey did not satisfy his burden to show the impugned decision was based on a retaliatory motive. 蘑菇视频AT held that 蘑菇视频DT made an error of law when it concluded that the impugned decision was retaliatory. 蘑菇视频AT held that 蘑菇视频DT also made factual errors regarding retaliation and these errors resulted in a manifestly unreasonable decision. 蘑菇视频AT...
2015-蘑菇视频AT-540, Aliko

2015-蘑菇视频AT-534, Assale
蘑菇视频AT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General. 蘑菇视频AT held that 蘑菇视频DT made an error of law when it applied 蘑菇视频ICEF Administrative Instruction CF/AI/2011-001 retroactively to review the non-renewal decision. 蘑菇视频AT held that 蘑菇视频DT erred in law in concluding that it was the duty of the Administration to take measures to remedy failings in performance. 蘑菇视频AT held that 蘑菇视频DT’s conclusion that the non-renewal decision was vitiated by 蘑菇视频ICEF’s failure to take remedial measures to improve Mr Assale’s performance was without legal basis. 蘑菇视频AT held that 蘑菇视频DT erroneously concluded that both the Chad Country...
2015-蘑菇视频AT-526, Tintukasiri et al
On the Appellants’ request for an oral hearing, 蘑菇视频AT held that it would not assist in the expeditious and fair disposal of the case since the sole issue on appeal was an issue of law (receivability). On the Appellants’ request that the appeal be heard by a full bench, 蘑菇视频AT held that neither the President nor any two judges sitting on the appeal found the case raised a significant question of law warranting a full bench and denied the request. 蘑菇视频AT held that: 蘑菇视频DT was competent to review its own competence or jurisdiction; 蘑菇视频DT correctly applied the jurisprudence of 蘑菇视频AT in the definition of...

2015-蘑菇视频AT-500, Said
蘑菇视频AT considered appeals by both Mr Said, limited to the amount of damages awarded, and by the Secretary-General. 蘑菇视频AT held that 蘑菇视频DT made several errors of law when it found 蘑菇视频ICEF’s decision not to renew Mr Said’s contract for poor performance was not supported by his Performance Evaluation Report (PER) and was unlawful. 蘑菇视频AT held that 蘑菇视频DT did not accord any deference to 蘑菇视频ICEF’s conclusion that Mr Said’s performance was poor and, instead, 蘑菇视频DT placed itself in the role of the decision-maker and determined whether it would have renewed the contract, based on the PER. 蘑菇视频AT held that 蘑菇视频DT made...

As a preliminary matter, 蘑菇视频AT held that 蘑菇视频DT made an error of law in breaching the confidentiality of a letter and Note to File previously ordered to be kept confidential and 蘑菇视频AT granted the Secretary-General’s motion to redact those paragraphs of the impugned judgment. 蘑菇视频AT held that 蘑菇视频DT made several errors of law: (1) by reviewing de novo the impugned decision; (2) by failing to recognise, respect and abide by 蘑菇视频AT jurisprudence; and (3) by finding that the surrounding circumstances created an implied promise...
2014-蘑菇视频AT-493, Das
蘑菇视频AT considered Ms Das’s application for Interpretation of judgment with respect to the award of interest on the compensatory damages and any remaining termination benefits and entitlements. 蘑菇视频AT noted that its earlier jurisprudence held that interest was to be paid at the US Prime rate from the date on which the entitlement becomes due, which in this case is the date of the 蘑菇视频DT judgment. 蘑菇视频AT noted that it had merely affirmed the award of compensatory damages and termination benefits by 蘑菇视频DT and had not initiated it. 蘑菇视频AT held that there was no merit to the Secretary-General’s claim that...
2014-蘑菇视频AT-490, Dzuverovic
蘑菇视频AT considered Ms Dzuverovic’s Application for Interpretation of judgment, specifically the portion that dismissed the Secretary-General’s cross-appeal to redact the recommendations made by 蘑菇视频DT and thus allowed them to remain despite the fact that Ms Dzuverovic’s 蘑菇视频DT application was not receivable. 蘑菇视频AT held that it explained the meaning and scope of its decision to dismiss the Secretary-General’s cross-appeal and not to redact the 蘑菇视频DT recommendations when it stated that the recommendations had no binding consequences on the parties. 蘑菇视频AT found that the judgment was not ambiguous and...
2014-蘑菇视频AT-486, Khan
As a preliminary matter, 蘑菇视频AT denied the Appellant’s request for an oral hearing. 蘑菇视频AT then considered the Appellant’s claims that the facts were not established by clear and convincing evidence, that there were procedural flaws during the disciplinary proceedings, and that his separation from service was not warranted. 蘑菇视频AT held that clear and convincing evidence showed that the Appellant harassed all the alleged victims and abused his authority, in violation of WFP’s Harassment Policy. 蘑菇视频AT also held that 蘑菇视频DT correctly found that the sanction of separation from service was proportionate...

2014-蘑菇视频AT-469, Eissa
蘑菇视频AT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General which challenged the remedies afforded Mr Eissa. 蘑菇视频AT held that there was no merit in the Secretary-General’s contention that 蘑菇视频DT erred in not explaining which irregularities were substantive and which were procedural, as either type of irregularity may support an award of moral damages. 蘑菇视频AT held that there was no merit in the Secretary-General’s contention that the award was duplicative of the award of alternative compensation in lieu of rescission. 蘑菇视频AT noted that an award under Article 10(5)(a) of the 蘑菇视频DT Statute is alternative...
2014-蘑菇视频AT-463, Slade
蘑菇视频AT considered the Appellant’s appeal and noted that the letters of appointment issued to the Appellant for the period of 1 July 2009 through 30 June 2012 did not refer to either the Memorandum, that described the planned phasing-out of the PTA, or the PTA itself. 蘑菇视频AT also noted that the PTA is neither a benefit or entitlement under the Staff Regulations and Rules, which “embody the conditions of service and the basic rights and duties and obligations of United Nations staff members,” nor an “administrative issuance in application of, and consistent with, the said Regulations and Rules. ”...
2014-蘑菇视频AT-464, Vorobiev
蘑菇视频AT held that the Standing Committee did not err in holding the application was not receivable ratione temporis. 蘑菇视频AT noted that, in refusing to receive the application, the Standing Committee also implicitly refused to find “good cause” to waive the sixty days’ time limit for review set forth in Section K of the 蘑菇视频JSPF Administrative Rules. 蘑菇视频AT also found no error in this implicit determination and held that a waiver of five years for review by the Standing Committee would be unreasonable, especially in light of the time limits in the Transfer Agreement between 蘑菇视频JSPF and CTBTO. 蘑菇视频AT...
2014-蘑菇视频AT-456, Pirnea
蘑菇视频AT considered both an application for Revision of judgment No. 2013-蘑菇视频AT-311 and a motion for confidentiality filed by Mr Pirnea. On the application for revision of judgment, 蘑菇视频AT held that Mr Pirnea did not set forth a new fact that was unknown to both him and 蘑菇视频AT at the time the judgment was rendered. Thus, his application did not come within the grounds for revision set forth in Article 11(1) of the 蘑菇视频AT Statute and Article 24 of the 蘑菇视频AT Rules of Procedure. On the motion for confidentiality, 蘑菇视频AT noted that the motion was late, and it was unlikely that confidentiality could be achieved...
2014-蘑菇视频AT-447, Terragnolo
The first issue 蘑菇视频AT considered was whether 蘑菇视频DT erred in applying ST/AI/2010/3 to the selection of staff for the G-7 post and 蘑菇视频AT found that 蘑菇视频DT did not err in this regard. 蘑菇视频AT noted that the language of paragraph 14 of the Memorandum of Understanding With Respect to United Nations Personnel Procedures Application to the 蘑菇视频 Joint Staff Pension Fund requires that “[t]he General Service staff of the [Pension] Fund secretariat shall be appointed and promoted through the normal [United Nations appointment and promotion] procedures, according to the policies applicable at the duty stations in...
