The time for requesting a management evaluation in this case is specified in Staff Rule 111.2(c). This rule provides that a request for management evaluation should not be receivable by the Secretary-General unless it was sent within 60 days of notification of the contested administrative decision. The Secretary-General is able to extend this time limit pending efforts for informal resolution by the office of the Ombudsman. In this case there is no evidence that the parties submitted the matter to the office of the Ombudsman for mediation within the deadlines for filing a management evaluation. There was no request of the Secretary-General to extend the time limit for this purpose. The applicant was therefore bound by the 60 day limit. The UNDT has previously held, pursuant to Article 8(3), that the Tribunal has no power to suspend or waive time limits for management evaluation. The Tribunal is bound by Article 8 of its Statute which stipulates when an application is receivable.
