Ms Rockcliffe filed an application for execution of UNAT judgment No. 2017-UNAT-807. UNAT held that the crux of the matter for determination was whether Ms Rockcliffe’s appointment to and her removal from, the Budget Working Group (BWG) in 2018 fell within the scope of UNAT’s order in the judgment. UNAT held that, although UNAT had not explicitly addressed the issue of conflict of interest in its judgment, it impliedly rejected it by means of applying the law in force at the time. UNAT held that it was egregious that UNJSPF re-submitted that the previous decision not to give Ms Rockcliffe access and to deny her participation would constitute a conflict of interest. UNAT held that UNJSPF was attempting to bypass the order of UNAT by prohibiting Ms Rockcliffe from participating in the BWG. UNAT ordered that Ms Rockcliffe be allowed to participate as an appointed member of the BWG, without prejudice to her recusing herself when an actual conflict of interest emerged. UNAT partly granted the application for execution of the judgment and vacated the decision to remove Ms Rockcliffe’s name from the list of members appointed to the BWG.
