2021-UNAT-1094, Khalid Younis

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

UNAT was not able to detect any errors in the UNDT Judgment, which is in accord with the consistent jurisprudence of UNAT.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The decision to deny Mr Younis certain daily subsistence allowances and additional terminal expenses in connection with his official travel to and from Brindisi including his stay in Khartoum.

Legal Principle(s)

As the response period expired and Mr Younis did not file his application within 90 days, UNDT had no jurisdiction to examine the merits of his claim. On-going exchanges with the Management Evaluation Unit (MEU) do not extend or reset the applicable time limits, nor does a response by MEU more than 90 days after the expiration of the 45-day time limit change the situation.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed on merits
