The UNAT noted that the staff member had requested to be reclassified at Grade HL7 in her e-mail dated 2 January 2017 and her subsequent communications had been reiterations of that request.

The UNAT held that the Administration should compensate the actual loss of income the staff member incurred from the moment her reclassification should have been implemented. The UNAT found that the UNWRA DT had appropriately considered the time limit of six months reasonable. The UNAT concluded that the UNRWA DT had not erred in law or fact in holding that she should be paid the difference in salary and...

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que l'agent ne remplissait pas les conditions requises pour la r¨¦vision de l'arr¨ºt ant¨¦rieur du TANU. Le TANU a constat¨¦ que l'agent n'avait avanc¨¦ aucun fait nouveau qui aurait ¨¦t¨¦ inconnu de lui ou du TANU au moment de l'arr¨ºt pr¨¦c¨¦dent, ni aucun fait qui aurait ¨¦t¨¦ d¨¦cisif pour la prise de d¨¦cision s'il avait ¨¦t¨¦ connu. Le TANU a estim¨¦ que la demande de r¨¦vision de l'agent se r¨¦sumait ¨¤ une reformulation des ¨¦l¨¦ments d¨¦j¨¤ pr¨¦sent¨¦s au TANU, qui avaient ¨¦t¨¦ examin¨¦s et rejet¨¦s, et qu'elle constituait une tentative de faire r¨¦examiner de novo le recours qui avait ¨¦t¨¦ tranch¨¦...

The UNAT held that the staff member did not fulfil the requirements for revision of the prior UNAT Judgment. The UNAT found that no new fact was advanced by the staff member that had been unknown either to him or the UNAT at the time of the prior Judgment, nor one that would have been decisive in reaching the decision had it been known. The UNAT was of the view that his application for revision amounted to a restatement of the material already placed before the UNAT, which had been considered and rejected, and constituted an attempt to have the appeal, which had been disposed of, re-heard de...

Le Tribunal a souscrit ¨¤ la conclusion du Tribunal sur la recevabilit¨¦ de la demande, mais a sugg¨¦r¨¦ que le Tribunal aurait d? appliquer une m¨¦thode diff¨¦rente pour statuer sur la demande.

Le Tribunal a estim¨¦ que le fonctionnaire n¡¯avait pas qualit¨¦ pour agir devant le Tribunal en ce qui concerne les r¨¦clamations formul¨¦es en sa qualit¨¦ d¡¯entrepreneur individuel, de sorte que cette demande a ¨¦t¨¦ rejet¨¦e pour des motifs ratione personae. Les autres demandes formul¨¦es en sa qualit¨¦ d¡¯ancien fonctionnaire ont ¨¦t¨¦ rejet¨¦es pour des raisons ratione materiae. Il n¡¯a pas r¨¦ussi ¨¤ le prouver qu¡¯une...

The UNAT agreed with the UNDT¡¯s conclusion on the receivability of the application but suggested that the UNDT should have applied a different methodology for determining it.

The UNAT held that the staff member did not have standing before the UNDT regarding claims made in his former capacity as an individual contractor, and thus this claim failed on ratione personae grounds. The other claims made in his former capacity as staff member failed on ratione materiae grounds. He failed to prove that a specific request had been made to the Administration for certification of service. Absent any...

M. Ronved a fait appel.

L'UNAT a rejet¨¦ l'appel et confirm¨¦ le jugement du UNDT.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal avait commis une erreur en jugeant la requ¨ºte irrecevable en ce qui concerne le refus d'une promotion temporaire ¨¤ la classe P-4. La d¨¦cision contest¨¦e devant le Tribunal du contentieux administratif ¨¦tait la d¨¦cision de proroger le SPA, que l'appelant a contest¨¦e en temps utile devant le MEU et le Tribunal du contentieux administratif du Tribunal. La prolongation du PSA et le refus d'accorder une promotion ¨¦taient les deux faces d'une m¨ºme d¨¦cision, avec les m¨ºmes d¨¦lais pour le...

Mr. Ronved appealed.

The UNAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the UNDT Judgment.

The UNAT held that the UNDT erred in finding the application not receivable with respect to the refusal of a temporary promotion to the P-4 level.? The contested decision before the UNDT was the decision to extend the SPA, which the Appellant timely challenged before the MEU and the UNDT.? The extension of the SPA and the denial to grant a promotion were two sides of the same decision, with the same time limits for management evaluation.? Therefore, the request for management evaluation of both decisions was...

L'UNAT a examin¨¦ un appel du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que l'administration de l'examen ¨¦crit sur les affaires de s¨¦curit¨¦ dans la pr¨¦sente affaire n'avait pas respect¨¦ les normes minimales d¨¦taill¨¦es dans Chhikara. L'UNAT a not¨¦ que l'Administration avait d'abord administr¨¦ le test, analys¨¦ les r¨¦sultats, et qu'ensuite seulement elle avait d¨¦cid¨¦ que certaines questions devaient ¨ºtre ¨¦limin¨¦es de l'examen. L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que la suppression inopin¨¦e et ex post de questions de l'examen ¨¦crit, apr¨¨s que celui-ci ait d¨¦j¨¤ ¨¦t¨¦ corrig¨¦, violait ¨¤ premi¨¨re vue l'obligation d'administrer...

The UNAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General.

The UNAT held that the administration of the written security affairs exam in the present case had not met the minimum standards detailed in Chhikara. The UNAT noted that the Administration had first administered the test, analyzed the results, and only then had decided that certain questions should be eliminated from consideration. The UNAT found that the unannounced and ex post deletion of questions from the written examination, after it had already been marked, on its very face violated the obligation to administer the test in a...

L'UNAT a examin¨¦ un appel interjet¨¦ par le fonctionnaire.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le raisonnement suivi par le DT de l'UNRWA pour refuser une audience parce que le fonctionnaire n'avait pas ¨¦tabli que son recours ¨¦tait recevable ¨¦tait ex post facto et, par cons¨¦quent, erron¨¦.

L'UNAT a constat¨¦ qu'il y avait une erreur dans le calcul de l'indemnit¨¦ par le DT de l'UNRWA en remplacement de l'annulation de la d¨¦cision de non-s¨¦lection, car il n'y avait aucune preuve pour ¨¦tayer la conclusion selon laquelle l'UNRWA l'aurait jug¨¦ inapte ¨¤ occuper ce poste ¨¤ la fin de la p¨¦riode. p¨¦riode de probation.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que l'absence de discussion sur la gestion de l'affaire et d'audience devant le TCNU ne constituait pas une erreur de proc¨¦dure.

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal n'avait pas commis d'erreur en admettant et en examinant le m¨¦morandum d'all¨¦gations de mauvaise conduite, car celui-ci avait ¨¦t¨¦ utilis¨¦ par l'Administration uniquement pour v¨¦rifier que les circonstances justifiant le placement du requ¨¦rant en ALWP existaient.

L'UNAT a ¨¦galement constat¨¦ que le rapport d'enqu¨ºte du BSCI ne faisait pas r¨¦f¨¦rence aux communications entre l'appelant et son conseil, ni aux ¨¦changes au...

The UNAT held that the absence of a case management discussion and an oral hearing before the UNDT was not a procedural error.

The UNAT found that the UNDT did not err in admitting and considering the memorandum of allegations of misconduct, as it was used by the Administration only to verify that circumstances warranting the placement of the Appellant on ALWP occurred. The UNAT also found that the OIOS Investigation Report did not refer to the communications between the Appellant and his counsel, nor to exchanges during a mediation process, but only considered the Appellant¡¯s objective...

The UNAT considered an appeal by the staff member.

The UNAT held that the UNRWA DT¡¯s reasoning for refusing an oral hearing because the staff member failed to establish that her appeal was receivable, was ex post facto and, thereby, erroneous.

The UNAT found that there was an error in the UNRWA DT¡¯s calculation of compensation in lieu of rescission of the non-selection decision as there was no evidence to support the conclusion that the UNRWA would have found her unsuitable for the role at the end of the probationary period.

The UNAT was of the view that the UNRWA DT¡¯s methodology of fixing...

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que la DT de l'UNRWA n'avait pas commis d'erreur en accordant une indemnit¨¦ compensatrice. Elle a examin¨¦ ¨¤ juste titre les chances de M. Fanous d¡¯¨ºtre s¨¦lectionn¨¦ pour le poste lorsqu¡¯elle a d¨¦clar¨¦ qu¡¯elle consid¨¦rait qu¡¯il n¡¯y avait aucune garantie d¡¯une s¨¦lection future. La DT de l¡¯UNRWA a appliqu¨¦ un montant forfaitaire sp¨¦cifique au contexte. Elle a pris en compte la probabilit¨¦ de s¨¦lection et le salaire de M. Fanous ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦poque. Elle a rendu une d¨¦cision qui ¨¦tait juste et juste dans le cas pr¨¦sent, mais a ¨¦galement adopt¨¦ une approche fond¨¦e sur des principes qui a pris...

The UNAT found that the UNRWA DT did not err in its award of in-lieu compensation. It appropriately considered Mr. Fanous¡¯ chance of selection for the post when it stated that it considered there was no guarantee of a future selection. The UNRWA DT applied a context-specific lump sum amount. It considered the likelihood of selection and Mr. Fanous¡¯ salary at the time. It made a determination that was fair and just in the present case but also took a principled approach that considered all relevant considerations.

As to Mr. Fanous¡¯ request for moral damages, with regard to the First and...

L¡¯UNAT a rejet¨¦ la demande d¡¯audience de M. Turk et n¡¯a trouv¨¦ aucune erreur dans la d¨¦cision du UNDT de ne pas ordonner la production de documents suppl¨¦mentaires. L'UNAT a r¨¦affirm¨¦ le cadre juridique qui pr¨¦voit que les membres du personnel n'ont aucune attente l¨¦gitime de renouvellement de leur engagement ¨¤ dur¨¦e d¨¦termin¨¦e.

L¡¯UNAT a ¨¦galement confirm¨¦ que les tribunaux n¡¯interf¨¦reront pas avec le pouvoir discr¨¦tionnaire de l¡¯Organisation en mati¨¨re de d¨¦cisions de restructuration et qu¡¯ils n¡¯ont pas le pouvoir de r¨¦viser les d¨¦cisions de l¡¯Assembl¨¦e g¨¦n¨¦rale relatives aux questions...

The UNAT declined Mr. Turk¡¯s request for an oral hearing, and found no error in the UNDT¡¯s decision not to order the production of additional documents.

The UNAT reaffirmed the legal framework which provides that staff members have no legitimate expectation of any renewal of their fixed-term appointments. The UNAT also confirmed that the Tribunals will not interfere with the Organization¡¯s discretion in restructuring decisions, and that the Tribunals have no authority to review General Assembly decisions related to administrative and budgetary matters. In this case, the UNAT held that the...

L'UNAT a conclu que le Tribunal du contentieux administratif s'¨¦tait inspir¨¦ des facteurs appropri¨¦s pour accorder une indemnit¨¦ compensatoire. Plus pr¨¦cis¨¦ment, le Tribunal a examin¨¦ l'anciennet¨¦ du fonctionnaire, le type de contrat qu'il occupait et les chances de se voir proposer des postes ¨¦quivalents, les motifs du licenciement et les mois de service jusqu'¨¤ l'?ge de la retraite. Compte tenu de la d¨¦f¨¦rence du TANU ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦gard du TCNU sur de telles questions, le TANU a estim¨¦ qu¡¯il ¨¦tait inutile de r¨¦examiner ces facteurs.

L¡¯UNAT a rejet¨¦ l¡¯affirmation du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral selon laquelle...

The UNAT concluded that the Dispute Tribunal had been guided by the appropriate factors in making its award of compensation in lieu. Specifically, the UNDT had considered the seniority of the staff member, the type of contract he held and the chance of being offered equivalent positions, the reasons for termination, and months of service until retirement age. In light of the UNAT¡¯s deference to the UNDT in such matters, the UNAT found it to be an adventure in futility to re-examine these factors.

The UNAT rejected the Secretary-General¡¯s contention that the length of the Temporary Job...

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que l'UNDT avait commis une erreur en estimant que l'administration avait mal interpr¨¦t¨¦ l'une des exigences pour le poste annonc¨¦ dans le JO 127555, ¨¤ savoir ? l'exp¨¦rience dans la direction de grandes ¨¦quipes ?, comme exigeant une exp¨¦rience de la supervision directe de 10 personnes ou plus. L¡¯UNAT a en outre estim¨¦ que l¡¯avis de vacance permettait une interpr¨¦tation contextuelle dans la mesure o¨´ le sens litt¨¦ral du terme ? diriger ? est tr¨¨s g¨¦n¨¦ral et ne permet pas, en soi, de comprendre exactement le sens voulu. Par cons¨¦quent, l¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ qu¡¯il ¨¦tait raisonnable pour...
