Le TANU a estim¨¦ qu'en demandant ¨¤ la direction d'¨¦valuer le r¨¦sultat n¨¦gatif de la proc¨¦dure de reclassement, l'agent n'avait pas respect¨¦ les r¨¨gles de proc¨¦dure.  Il aurait d? faire appel de la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e, comme le pr¨¦voient les sections 5 et 6 de l'instruction administrative ST/AI/1998/9 (Syst¨¨me de classement des postes).  La demande de l'agent n'¨¦tant pas recevable, le TANU a estim¨¦ qu'il ne pouvait pas examiner ses observations et ses preuves suppl¨¦mentaires concernant le fond de l'affaire.  Le TANU a rejet¨¦ la demande d'indemnisation de l'agent ¨¤ la lumi¨¨re de sa d¨¦cision de...

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que l'UNDT avait correctement appliqu¨¦ le cadre juridique r¨¦gissant la r¨¦siliation d'un engagement pour performances insatisfaisantes.  Le TANU a constat¨¦ que l'agent connaissait le niveau de performance requis pour son poste et qu'il avait b¨¦n¨¦fici¨¦ d'une possibilit¨¦ ¨¦quitable de satisfaire ¨¤ ce niveau.  Le TANU a observ¨¦ qu'il avait re?u la mention "r¨¦pond partiellement aux attentes" pour deux cycles de performance, et la mention "ne r¨¦pond pas aux attentes" pour le cycle de performance le plus r¨¦cent.  Il avait ¨¦galement fait l'objet d'un plan d'am¨¦lioration des...

Le TANU a estim¨¦ qu'en l'absence de preuve d'un abus manifeste de proc¨¦dure par le Commissaire g¨¦n¨¦ral devant le Tribunal du contentieux administratif de l'UNRWA, ou de constatation par le Tribunal du contentieux administratif de l'UNRWA d'un tel abus de proc¨¦dure, les ordonnances relatives aux frais de justice rendues par le Tribunal du contentieux administratif n'¨¦taient pas conformes aux dispositions de l'article 10 du statut du Tribunal du contentieux administratif de l'UNRWA et ¨¦taient donc injustifi¨¦es et ne pouvaient pas ¨ºtre maintenues.  De plus, si le TANU a consid¨¦r¨¦ que les frais de...

Le TANU a rejet¨¦ la demande de r¨¦vision, estimant qu'aucun des faits nouveaux all¨¦gu¨¦s n'¨¦tait un "fait nouveau" au sens de l'article 11, paragraphe 1, du statut du TANU. Les faits nouveaux all¨¦gu¨¦s ¨¦taient soit survenus apr¨¨s le prononc¨¦ de l'arr¨ºt du TANU, soit connus du Tribunal d'appel, soit des questions de droit.

Le TANU a accueilli la demande de correction en partie, dans la mesure o¨´ il a accept¨¦ l'argument de Mme Raschdorf selon lequel une erreur s'est produite au paragraphe 44 de l'arr¨ºt du TANU, o¨´ le TANU a fait r¨¦f¨¦rence ¨¤ tort au Comit¨¦ consultatif pour les demandes d...

The UNAT dismissed the application for revision, finding that none of the alleged new facts were ¡°new facts¡± for the purpose of Article 11(1) of the UNAT Statute. The alleged new facts either occurred after the issuance of the UNAT Judgment, were known to the Appeals Tribunal, or matters of law.

The UNAT granted the application for correction in part, to the extent that the UNAT agreed with Ms. Raschdorf's argument that an error arose in paragraph 44 of the UNAT Judgment where the UNAT wrongly referred to the Advisory Board on Compensation Claims instead of the Pension Fund. 

Finally, the...

The UNAT held that with no evidence of a manifest abuse of proceedings by the Commissioner-General before the UNRWA DT, nor any finding by the UNRWA DT of such an abuse of proceedings, the legal cost orders made by the Dispute Tribunal did not accord with the terms of Article 10 of the UNRWA DT Statute and were therefore unjustified and could not be sustained.  Moreover, if the UNAT considered that the legal costs were awarded by the UNRWA DT under Article 10(5)(b) (which was not apparent from the Judgment), there existed no basis to justify such an order given the evidence before the Dispute...

The UNAT held that the UNDT properly applied the legal framework governing the termination of appointments for unsatisfactory performance.  The UNAT found that the staff member was aware of the required performance standard for his post and that he had been given a fair opportunity to meet this standard.  The UNAT observed that he had received ¡°partially meets performance expectations¡± for two performance cycles, and ¡°does not meet expectations¡± for the most recent performance cycle.  He had also been placed on a performance improvement plan, but failed to meet all of the objectives of the PIP...

The UNAT noted that in light of multiple competing requests for lateral transfer, the staff member had not been one of the candidates who was recommended and selected for the position because her responsibilities had been different from the duties of the requested position, and the Agency sought candidates more familiar with those duties.

The UNAT held that under the relevant legal provisions governing lateral transfers, read together and not in isolation, the Agency had been authorized to base its assessment on the candidates¡¯ suitability for the post instead of seniority, compelling reasons...

The UNAT held that by requesting management evaluation of the negative outcome of the reclassification process, the staff member breached procedural prerequisites.  Instead, he should have appealed the contested decision as laid down in Sections 5 and 6 of ST/AI/1998/9 (System for the classification of posts).  As the staff member¡¯s application was not receivable, the UNAT found that it could not consider his submissions and additional evidence concerning the merits of the case.  The UNAT denied the staff member¡¯s request for compensation in light of its decision to affirm the impugned...

The UNAT held that the UNDT acted within its discretion by issuing the impugned Judgment without holding an oral hearing, especially as the issue for consideration was one of receivability.  The UNAT also held that the UNDT did not err in failing to give the staff member an opportunity to comment on the Secretary-General¡¯s reply as he did not file a motion for additional pleadings.

The UNAT found that the UNDT correctly identified that the contested decision was the Administration¡¯s decision not to reclassify his position.

The UNAT held that the staff member should have appealed the...

The UNAT held that the former staff member failed to provide evidence to prove entitlement to compensation for harm suffered.  In particular, the UNAT found that no evidence was submitted proving a nexus between the illegality committed and any harm suffered by the former staff member as a result.  The UNAT highlighted that the medical report submitted by the former staff member recorded that she had complained of lack of sleep and headaches ¡°for several years¡± and that such symptoms were consistent with a previous diagnosed medical condition.

As to the costs of the appeal, since there was no...

The UNAT noted that the Dispute Tribunal had issued the impugned Order granting the request to extend the time limit for filing the application without the adversely-affected party being heard and without authority to do so. The UNAT found that the UNDT had not technically complied with its own Practice Direction in issuing the Order and may have strictly violated the principles of natural justice and due process by failing to give the Secretary-General adequate notice of the motion and an opportunity to reply.

The UNAT observed, however, that the UNDT had accepted the staff member¡¯s averment...

The UNAT noted that the staff member had requested to be reclassified at Grade HL7 in her e-mail dated 2 January 2017 and her subsequent communications had been reiterations of that request.

The UNAT held that the Administration should compensate the actual loss of income the staff member incurred from the moment her reclassification should have been implemented. The UNAT found that the UNWRA DT had appropriately considered the time limit of six months reasonable. The UNAT concluded that the UNRWA DT had not erred in law or fact in holding that she should be paid the difference in salary and...

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que l'agent ne remplissait pas les conditions requises pour la r¨¦vision de l'arr¨ºt ant¨¦rieur du TANU. Le TANU a constat¨¦ que l'agent n'avait avanc¨¦ aucun fait nouveau qui aurait ¨¦t¨¦ inconnu de lui ou du TANU au moment de l'arr¨ºt pr¨¦c¨¦dent, ni aucun fait qui aurait ¨¦t¨¦ d¨¦cisif pour la prise de d¨¦cision s'il avait ¨¦t¨¦ connu. Le TANU a estim¨¦ que la demande de r¨¦vision de l'agent se r¨¦sumait ¨¤ une reformulation des ¨¦l¨¦ments d¨¦j¨¤ pr¨¦sent¨¦s au TANU, qui avaient ¨¦t¨¦ examin¨¦s et rejet¨¦s, et qu'elle constituait une tentative de faire r¨¦examiner de novo le recours qui avait ¨¦t¨¦ tranch¨¦...

The UNAT held that the staff member did not fulfil the requirements for revision of the prior UNAT Judgment. The UNAT found that no new fact was advanced by the staff member that had been unknown either to him or the UNAT at the time of the prior Judgment, nor one that would have been decisive in reaching the decision had it been known. The UNAT was of the view that his application for revision amounted to a restatement of the material already placed before the UNAT, which had been considered and rejected, and constituted an attempt to have the appeal, which had been disposed of, re-heard de...

Le Tribunal a souscrit ¨¤ la conclusion du Tribunal sur la recevabilit¨¦ de la demande, mais a sugg¨¦r¨¦ que le Tribunal aurait d? appliquer une m¨¦thode diff¨¦rente pour statuer sur la demande.

Le Tribunal a estim¨¦ que le fonctionnaire n¡¯avait pas qualit¨¦ pour agir devant le Tribunal en ce qui concerne les r¨¦clamations formul¨¦es en sa qualit¨¦ d¡¯entrepreneur individuel, de sorte que cette demande a ¨¦t¨¦ rejet¨¦e pour des motifs ratione personae. Les autres demandes formul¨¦es en sa qualit¨¦ d¡¯ancien fonctionnaire ont ¨¦t¨¦ rejet¨¦es pour des raisons ratione materiae. Il n¡¯a pas r¨¦ussi ¨¤ le prouver qu¡¯une...

The UNAT agreed with the UNDT¡¯s conclusion on the receivability of the application but suggested that the UNDT should have applied a different methodology for determining it.

The UNAT held that the staff member did not have standing before the UNDT regarding claims made in his former capacity as an individual contractor, and thus this claim failed on ratione personae grounds. The other claims made in his former capacity as staff member failed on ratione materiae grounds. He failed to prove that a specific request had been made to the Administration for certification of service. Absent any...

M. Ronved a fait appel.

L'UNAT a rejet¨¦ l'appel et confirm¨¦ le jugement du UNDT.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal avait commis une erreur en jugeant la requ¨ºte irrecevable en ce qui concerne le refus d'une promotion temporaire ¨¤ la classe P-4. La d¨¦cision contest¨¦e devant le Tribunal du contentieux administratif ¨¦tait la d¨¦cision de proroger le SPA, que l'appelant a contest¨¦e en temps utile devant le MEU et le Tribunal du contentieux administratif du Tribunal. La prolongation du PSA et le refus d'accorder une promotion ¨¦taient les deux faces d'une m¨ºme d¨¦cision, avec les m¨ºmes d¨¦lais pour le...

Mr. Ronved appealed.

The UNAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the UNDT Judgment.

The UNAT held that the UNDT erred in finding the application not receivable with respect to the refusal of a temporary promotion to the P-4 level.? The contested decision before the UNDT was the decision to extend the SPA, which the Appellant timely challenged before the MEU and the UNDT.? The extension of the SPA and the denial to grant a promotion were two sides of the same decision, with the same time limits for management evaluation.? Therefore, the request for management evaluation of both decisions was...

L'UNAT a examin¨¦ un appel du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que l'administration de l'examen ¨¦crit sur les affaires de s¨¦curit¨¦ dans la pr¨¦sente affaire n'avait pas respect¨¦ les normes minimales d¨¦taill¨¦es dans Chhikara. L'UNAT a not¨¦ que l'Administration avait d'abord administr¨¦ le test, analys¨¦ les r¨¦sultats, et qu'ensuite seulement elle avait d¨¦cid¨¦ que certaines questions devaient ¨ºtre ¨¦limin¨¦es de l'examen. L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que la suppression inopin¨¦e et ex post de questions de l'examen ¨¦crit, apr¨¨s que celui-ci ait d¨¦j¨¤ ¨¦t¨¦ corrig¨¦, violait ¨¤ premi¨¨re vue l'obligation d'administrer...
