Scope of the case. The Applicant’s claims of harassment, sexual harassment and abuse of authority presented to the JAB were not independent claims in and of themselves, but merely constituted support for the Applicant’s contention that her due process rights had been violated in the context of the non-renewal and non-extension. Considering the posture of the case presented to the JAB and on review by the Dispute Tribunal, the Tribunal is without authority to re-examine the investigation into the Applicant’s sexual harassment charges. Exceptional case. With respect to the determination whether a case is “exceptional” under art. 10.5(b), the United Nations Appeals Tribunal stated that this provision “does not require a formulaic articulation of aggravating factors; rather it requires evidence of aggravating factors which warrant higher compensation” (Mmata). The Applicant failed to do so.. Outcome: The application rejected in its entirety.
