UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

Receivability: The Tribunal concluded that the Applicant’s filing of an incomplete application met the time limits for filing an application set out in staff rule 11.4(a) and that as the incomplete application was filed in time, there was no requirement for the Applicant to request a suspension or waiver of the deadline.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant is contesting a decision of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan to transfer the Applicant’s assigned duties to another staff member on the basis of a restructuring exercise. The Respondent submitted that the Application was not receivable as it had been filed with the Tribunal one day outside the permissible time limits without asking for an extension.
