UNDT/2024/008, Reid

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Tribunal recalled that it may only review decisions that have been the subject of a timely request for management evaluation.

Considering, inter alia, that the Applicant filed her request for management evaluation after the 60 calendar days’ deadline, and that the Tribunal is not competent to suspend or waive deadlines for management evaluation as per art. 8.3 of its Statute, the Tribunal found that the present application was not receivable ratione materiae. It consequently dismissed the application.

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed

To terminate the Applicant’s indefinite appointment effective 30 August 2023

Legal Principle(s)

Receivability of an application is a condition sine qua non for judicial review by the Tribunal.
Time limits in the context of the administration of justice in the United Nations’ internal justice system must be observed and strictly enforced.

Outcome

Dismissed as not receivable
