UNDT/2011/183 | SYSTEM OF ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE

UNDT/2011/183, Rahman

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Tribunal found the application irreceivable ratione termporis, considering that, for the purpose of former staff rule 111.2(a), the Applicant was duly notified of his non-selection by the email of 5 June 2009, and that subsequent communications were merely confirmative. Notification of non-selection decision: Former staff rule 111.2(a) did not require that a decision must be communicated in any specific manner, except that it must be in writing. Confirmative decisions: A decision which merely confirms a previous one may not be appealed and it does not reopen the time limit for formal contestation. Time limit for administrative review: Pursuant to art. 8.3 of the Statute, the Tribunal has no power to waive the time limit for administrative review.
