UNDT/2014/147

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Tribunal is only competent to hear complaints filed by staff members, former staff members or persons makingclaims in the name of an incapacitated or deceased staff member under article 3 of the Statute. Noting that the Applicant had been working with UNON as an independent contractor, the Tribunal held that he was not a staff member of UNON and as such, he has no standing to come before the Tribunal.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant challenged the decision by the �鶹APP Office at Nairobi (UNON) to suspend him pending an investigation into alleged misconduct. The Tribunal concluded that the Application was not receivable because the Applicant was a contractor at the time of his suspension.
