2017-UNAT-732, Nielsen

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Appellant appealed judgment Nos. UNDT/2016/113 (UNAT Case No. 2016-972) and UNDT/2016/114 (UNAT Case No. 2016-973). UNAT consolidated the two appeals. The Appellant submitted a motion to withdraw her appeals following the successful conclusion of mediation discussions and the signing of a settlement agreement. UNAT recalled its jurisprudence that there was no reason to require a party to pursue an appeal he or she no longer deems necessary in the context of his or her case. UNAT granted the motion to withdraw the Appellant’s appeals and directed the Registrar to close both UNAT cases.

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed

The Applicant contested decisions surrounding complaints of misconduct that she had made against a number of colleagues. UNDT rejected the applications in judgment Nos. UNDT/2016/113 and UNDT/2016/114.

Legal Principle(s)

There is no reason to require a party to pursue an appeal that he or she no longer deems necessary in the context of his or her case.
