The Tribunal does not accept the Applicant’s submission that the Respondent made a contestable administrative decision concerning her reassignment on 29 December 2012. The Tribunal finds that the Respondent did not make a new contestable administrative decision concerning her reassignment on 29 December 2012. It confirmed the original decision made in February 2012. As the Applicant did not seek management evaluation of the original decision within the required 60 days, her application is not receivable by the Tribunal. It is settled law that a decision is considered final when the Organisation decides to take a particular course of action, which has direct legal consequences on the rights and obligations of a staff member as an individual. It is also settled law that timelines as stipulated in article 7.1(a) of the Rules of Procedure and article 8.1(d)(i) of the Statute must be strictly observed. The jurisprudence is consistent in that reiterations of administrative decisions which are repeatedly questioned by a staff member do not serve to reset the clock in respect of the stipulated timelines for a challenge of those decisions. Time begins to run from the date the decision was originally made. Repeated restatements of the original claim will not alter the deadline for a challenge against the impugned decision. A new decision is one that is made under new circumstances and is, as such, subject to review.
