2022-UNAT-1237, Ade Mamonyane Beatrice Lekoetje

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The UNAT reviewed the submission of the Secretary-General that Ms. Lekoetje had already repaid the amounts due to the Organization when she separated from service. The UNAT acknowledged that Ms. Lekoetje agreed with the Secretary-General’s position, and confirmed that USD 20,987.91 had already been deducted from her final entitlements.

Accordingly, the UNAT accepted this position, and interpreted Judgment No. 2022-UNAT-1227 as requiring a payment by the Organization to Ms. Lekoetje of a sum equal to one year’s net base salary, but without any further deductions.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

In Judgment No. 2022-UNAT-1227, the UNAT modified the remedies awarded by the UNDT by providing Ms. Lekoetje a sum equivalent to one year’s salary, minus USD 20,987.91, which the UNAT considered she should repay the Organization. The Secretary-General filed an application for interpretation of the UNAT Judgment, clarifying that Ms. Lekoetje had already repaid the indicated amount.
