UNDT/2016/205, Manly-Spain

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Applicant did not comply with the requirement of staff rule 11.2 (c) to request management evaluation within the period of 60 days from the date of notification of the decision. The deadline expired on 12 January 2014, but she requested management evaluation on 12 February 2014.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested “the decision to recover amounts she received as dependency benefits for her child as of 1 July 2009”.

Legal Principle(s)

Where a request for management evaluation is necessary, it is a mandatory first step in the process leading to a judicial determination on the merits. In the event of an appeal to the Dispute Tribunal an applicant has to demonstrate that the decision being appealed against had previously been the subject of a request for management evaluation and that both the request and the claim to the Tribunal complied with the required deadlines and time limits.

Outcome
Dismissed as not receivable
Outcome Extra Text
