UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

UNAT considered a request for revision of judgment No. 2013-UNAT-297. UNAT noted that the application for revision was filed more than six months beyond the time limit. UNAT held that the application for revision was not receivable ratione temporis. UNAT dismissed the appeal.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

Previous UNAT judgment: Mr Likuyani was separated from service without notice after he was found to have filed false claims for reimbursement of medical bills and to have made personal international phone calls from an official line without authorisation. He applied to the former UN Administrative Tribunal for revision of its judgment No. 976, which was transferred to the UNDT. Mr Likuyani filed an application with UNDT for revision of UN Administrative Tribunal judgment No. 976. UNDT found that the application was not receivable. On appeal to UNAT, in judgment No. 2013-UNAT-297, UNAT found that the application was not receivable.
