UNAT considered appeals of judgment Nos. UNDT/2010/075 and UNDT/2010/076. On the issue of being barred from the UNOV premises, UNAT noted that UNDT has jurisdiction over applications filed by a staff member, former staff member or a person making claims in the name of an incapacitated or deceased staff member. However, given that the Appellant was not a staff member at the time he was barred, UNAT held that he could not complain that the decision was not in compliance with his terms of appointment or contract of employment. UNAT held that, as a holder of an SSA contract, the Appellant was no longer on that date subject to the Staff Regulations and Rules and the barring could not have adversely affected his terms of appointment as a former staff member. UNAT held that UNDT correctly rejected the application as not receivable ratione personae. On the issue of access to documents, UNAT held that while the Appellant, as a former staff member, was entitled to have access to his files that correspond to the period of his former employment with UNOV, since the reasons for gaining access related to a decision which had no bearing on his status as a former staff member, UNDT correctly held that the application was not receivable. UNAT dismissed the appeals and affirmed both UNDT judgments.
