UNDT/2013/178, Von der Schulenburg

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

UNDT held that the Applicant’s challenge to the expiry/termination of his contract was filed out of time and, thus, not receivable. There was no evidence before UNDT to show that a disciplinary investigation was conducted against the Applicant. UNDT held that if such an investigation did take place then there was no evidence that it was concluded, and no evidence that a formal disciplinary measure was imposed against the Applicant as a result. UNDT also held that the Applicant did not make a timely request for management evaluation with respect to this issue and, as such, it was not receivable.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested the termination of his contract and the administrative decision to open a misconduct investigation against him.
