UNDT/2018/081, Cherneva

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Tribunal noted that art. 12.3 of its Statute and art. 30 of its Rules of Procedure limit the scope of applications for interpretation to judgments. Neither the Tribunal’s Statute nor its Rules of Procedure contemplate applications for interpretation with respect to orders. The Tribunal therefore found that the present application was not receivable ratione materiae.

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed

The Applicant requested interpretation of Order No. 95 (GVA/2018) of 11 May 2018 whereby the Tribunal adjudicated her application for suspension of action.

Legal Principle(s)

The examination of an application’s receivability is a matter of law, which may be adjudicated without serving the application on the Respondent for a reply and even if not raised by the parties (Christensen 2013-UNAT-335).
