2020-UNAT-999, Wilson

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

UNAT considered an application for correction of judgment for judgment No. 2019-UNAT-940 filed by Mr Wilson in order to reflect a correction of dates that UNDT had made to its own judgment. UNAT held that it was necessary to correct the date of the receipt of a Management Evaluation Unit response, a crucial factor for calculating time limits under the UNDT Statute, as, without the correction, the Appellant’s application to UNDT would have been not receivable ratione temporis. UNAT granted the Appellant’s application and ordered the correction of the UNAT judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed

Mr Wilson contested his non-selection for a position. In judgment No. UNDT/2018/136, UNDT found for Mr Wilson. However, in judgment No. 2019-UNAT-940, UNAT vacated the UNDT judgment and remanded the case back to UNDT for reconsideration.
