UNDT/2012/146, Roig

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

In this case, the Applicant is a permanent staff member who contested the selection decision of a candidate other than her, as well as her non-selection, for the Post. The application before the Tribunal was filed on 8 April 2012 which is within 90 days following her receipt of the MEU’s 23 March 2012 decision. However, seeing that the initial request for management evaluation was time-barred it has no legal effect and the application before the Tribunal is therefore not receivable.

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed

Legal Principle(s)

The time limit within which a management evaluation has to be requested starts to run upon receiving the written notification of the contested decision.; The Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to waive the deadline for the filing of requests for management evaluation with the MEU.
