UNDT/2017/011, Afeworki

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Applicant was informed of the Respondent’s decision not to renew her appointment on 13 May 2015 thus the time to challenge this decision started to run from this date. The Applicant requested management evaluation on 28 August 2015.; A later notice to the Applicant on 30 June 2015 merely affirmed that the earlier decision remained in force.; The application was late in light of staff rule 11.2(c), as it was filed past the sixty-day time limit, and not receivable. UNDT dismissed the application.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested the decision not to renew her fixed-term appointment beyond 30 June 2015.

Legal Principle(s)

If the request for management evaluation is time-barred, the application before UNDT is not receivable because the UNDT Statute forbids the waiving of time limits for management evaluation.
