On the score of prima facie unlawfulness, the Tribunal held that the Respondent had failed to provide reasons why the decision not to renew the Applicant’s appointment was lawful. The Tribunal therefore, concluded that based on the available evidence, the contested decision was motivated by countervailing circumstances and was thus prima facie unlawful. With regard to urgency, the Tribunal found that the Applicant had acted prudently by filing her application in a timely manner. Consequently, the Tribunal held that in the circumstances, the requirement for urgency had been satisfied by the Applicant. On the prong of irreparable damage, the Tribunal observed that contrary to the; Respondent’s argument, monetary compensation alone in the face of an unjust and unlawful decision by ESCWA would not do justice to the Applicant. Therefore, the Tribunal found that implementation of the contested decision would cause the Applicant an irreparable damage. In view of the above findings, the Tribunal granted the application for suspension of action.
