UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The application was not receivable because the Applicant did not request management evaluation.

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed

The Applicant contested the decision by the Regional Service Centre Entebbe (“RSCE”) to not reimburse the cost of his stay at a fee-paying facility during a government mandated quarantine while he was on home leave.

Legal Principle(s)

Pursuant to staff rules 11.2(a) and 11.2(c), for an application to be receivable, the applicant must first submit a request for management evaluation to the Management Evaluation Unit (“MEU”) within the applicable time limit, which is “60 calendar days from the date on which the staff member received notification of the administrative decision to be contested”. Article 8.1(c) of the UNDT Statute provides that an application shall be receivable if an applicant has previously submitted the requested administrative decision for management evaluation where required.
