UNDT/2019/153, Mohamed

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Applicant did not seek management evaluation until several years after he was excluded from the lists of staff eligible for the conversion of their appointment. There is no doubt, therefore, that the Applicant did not challenge the implied decision in a timely manner.

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed

Refusal to convert the Applicant’s fixed-term appointment into a continuing appointment

Legal Principle(s)

To determine what date sets off the deadline to challenge an implied decision, the Dispute Tribunal will establish the date on which the staff member knew or reasonably should have known of the implied decision. This date will set the deadline for seeking management evaluation.
