The Tribunal dismissed the application. The Tribunal found that the contested decision was rescinded promptly after its issuance. In fact, the main claim of the application was rendered moot even before the commencement of the proceedings before the Tribunal.
The Tribunal finds the Respondent’s application for interpretation as an attempt to have the Tribunal re-examine its Order, which is not a proper way to seek a reversal or modification of the Tribunal’s Order. As the Appeals Tribunal clearly stated, the exercise of interpretation under art. 30 of the Dispute Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure is not an avenue for review or the basis for a fresh judgment. It goes without saying that the motion is not receivable and must be dismissed. The Administration provided some reasonable explanation for the contested decision, which is supported by evidence...
Concerning receivability ratione temporis, which the Tribunal examined on its own motion, the Tribunal found that non-compliance with the deadline for technical reasons and supported by evidence falls outside the scope of art. 8.3 of its Statute, which requires a written request for an extension from an Applicant. As such, the Tribunal was satisfied that in this case, the Applicants filed their applications after the set deadline due to reasons outside of their control, which they timely flagged, and found the applications receivable ratione temporis.

The first issue is determining the Applicant’s date of recruitment as that date establishes the legal framework for the Applicant’s eligibility for ASHI. Under the applicable legal framework, staff members recruited before 1 July 2007 would be eligible for ASHI after five years of eligible service, whereas staff members recruited after 1 July 2007 would be eligible for ASHI after 10 years of eligible service.

The Tribunal concluded that the Applicant had attempted to physically remove M, the staff member of a WFP contractor, from WFP premises and that in so doing, he had been imprudent and reckless since he could have sought the assistance of security personnel. The Tribunal found, however, that the allegations that the Applicant had initiated the fight with M and continued to fight severely and inflict serious injuries on him, had not been established by clear and convincing evidence. The Tribunal further found that in imposing the disciplinary sanction on the Applicant, WFP had unlawfully...
Receivability The Tribunal found that the ASG, OHRM’s failure to take action on the Applicant’s complaint almost nine months after its filing, taking into account only the period that preceded the request for management evaluation, is a clear violation of the provisions of ST/SGB/2008/5. The Tribunal considered that the Administration’s failure to act on the Applicant’s complaint amounted to an implicit administrative decision that was subject to judicial review. The application was therefore considered receivable. Merits The Tribunal found that the failure to process the Applicant’s complaint...
