UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

UNAT held that the 60-day time limit for an Appellant to request management evaluation from the contested decision began to run from the date of notification of the administrative decision and expired on 18 August 2014. UNAT pointed out that the Appellant submitted his request for management evaluation six months after the time limit had expired. UNAT held that UNDT was correct in finding that the Appellant’s application was not receivable. UNAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the UNDT judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed

The Applicant contested the decision not to retroactively convert his fixed-term appointment into a permanent one. UNDT rendered a summary judgment finding that the application was not receivable ratione materiae since the Applicant had not filed timely the request for a management evaluation of the contested decision.

Legal Principle(s)

UNDT has no jurisdiction to waive deadlines for management evaluation or administrative review.
