UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

UNAT held that the appeal was filed after the deadline for filing appeals had passed and therefore the appeal was not receivable. UNAT held that the needless forwarding of an English copy of the Judgment to the applicant for her information did not constitute an exceptional case that would justify the extension of the deadline, considering the previous unambiguous communication of the original version of the Judgment in French. UNAT dismissed the appeal.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested the decision to exclude her from a comparative review process for the filling of vacant posts. UNDT rejected her application.

Legal Principle(s)
