The UNAT held that the UNDT erred in holding that the Administration misinterpreted one of the requirements for the position advertised in JO 127555, namely ¡°experience in leading large teams¡±, as requiring experience of direct supervision of 10 people or more. The UNAT further found that the vacancy announcement allowed for a such contextual interpretation as the literal meaning of ¡°lead¡± is very general and does not, by itself, allow for an exact comprehension of the intended meaning. Therefore, the UNAT held that it was reasonable for the Administration to interpret the requirement of...

L'UNAT a rejet¨¦ l'appel, sans pr¨¦judice.

L¡¯UNAT a not¨¦ que le recours de M. Radu concernait la d¨¦cision administrative du 8 novembre 2021 concernant sa cessation de service pendant un arr¨ºt de maladie certifi¨¦.

L'UNAT a en outre not¨¦ qu'un recours distinct de M. Radu, d'abord devant la Commission de recours et maintenant devant l'UNAT, concernait cette m¨ºme d¨¦cision administrative du 8 novembre 2021 sur le fond, ¨¤ savoir la mesure disciplinaire de cessation de service pour la faute all¨¦gu¨¦e ( Cas UNAT n¡ã 2023-1804).

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que la d¨¦cision attaqu¨¦e de la Commission de recours dans...

The UNAT dismissed the appeal, without prejudice.

The UNAT noted that Mr. Radu¡¯s appeal concerned the administrative decision of 8 November 2021 in respect of his separation from service during certified sick leave.

The UNAT further noted that a separate appeal by Mr. Radu, first before the Appeals Board and now before the UNAT, concerned that same administrative decision of 8 November 2021 on its merits, i.e. the disciplinary measure of separation from service for the alleged misconduct (UNAT Case No. 2023-1804).

The UNAT found that the impugned Appeals Board Decision in this case was not...

L¡¯UNAT a rejet¨¦ la demande d¡¯audience de l¡¯appelant, estimant que les questions ¨¦taient bien d¨¦finies et ne n¨¦cessitaient pas de d¨¦veloppement suppl¨¦mentaire au cours d¡¯une audience.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que la demande du requ¨¦rant visant ¨¤ r¨¦examiner la r¨¦ponse ¨¤ sa demande de contr?le hi¨¦rarchique concernant sa non-s¨¦lection n'¨¦tait pas recevable ratione materiae car elle n'avait pas produit de cons¨¦quences juridiques directes pour lui et ne constituait donc pas une d¨¦cision administrative susceptible de recours.

L'UNAT a ¨¦galement constat¨¦ que le requ¨¦rant avait ¨¦t¨¦ inform¨¦ du r¨¦sultat de sa...

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

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal n'avait pas commis d'erreur de fait en n'ayant pas consid¨¦r¨¦ la cessation de service, mentionn¨¦e dans l'avis de cessation de service, comme le motif de la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e ; la mention de la retraite n¡¯avait aucune incidence sur la cessation de service du fonctionnaire. L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que la lettre l'informant de l'expiration de son engagement de dur¨¦e d¨¦termin¨¦e ¨¦tait conforme ¨¤ la suppression du poste qu'elle occupait.

L'UNAT a not¨¦ que le contr?le judiciaire dans le contexte d'une suspension d...

? titre pr¨¦liminaire, l¡¯UNAT a rejet¨¦ la demande d¡¯audience de M. Qassem. L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que les questions factuelles et juridiques soulev¨¦es par l'appel avaient ¨¦t¨¦ clairement d¨¦finies par les parties et qu'en outre, une audience orale ne ? contribuerait pas ¨¤ r¨¦gler l'affaire de mani¨¨re rapide et ¨¦quitable ?.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que, puisque l'engagement de dur¨¦e d¨¦termin¨¦e de M. Qassem avait ¨¦t¨¦ prolong¨¦ au-del¨¤ du 31 mars 2020, sans effet donn¨¦ ¨¤ la d¨¦cision administrative initiale de ne pas renouveler son engagement au-del¨¤ de cette date, le Tribunal n'avait pas commis d'erreur en concluant...

As a preliminary matter, the UNAT dismissed Mr. Qassem¡¯s request for an oral hearing. The UNAT found that the factual and legal issues arising from the appeal had been clearly defined by the parties and moreover, an oral hearing would not ¡°assist in the expeditious and fair disposal of the case¡±.

The UNAT found that since Mr. Qassem¡¯s fixed-term appointment was extended beyond 31 March 2020, with no effect given to the initial administrative decision not to renew his employment beyond this date, the UNDT did not err in finding that the application was moot since the administrative decision...

The UNAT considered an appeal by the staff member.

The UNAT found that the UNDT had not erred in fact when it had not considered separation on retirement, mentioned in the separation notice, to be the reason for the contested decision; the mention of retirement had no import on the staff member¡¯s separation. The UNAT was of the view that the letter informing her of the expiry of her fixed-term appointment was in line with the abolition of the post she encumbered.

The UNAT noted that judicial review in the context of suspension of action is different from the review conducted by the Tribunal...

The UNAT denied the Appellant¡¯s request for an oral hearing, finding that that the issues were well-defined and required no further development through an oral hearing.

The UNAT held that the Appellant¡¯s application for review of the response to his request for management evaluation of his non-selection was not receivable ratione materiae as it did not produce direct legal consequences for him and was, therefore, not a reviewable administrative decision.

The UNAT also found that the Appellant was informed of the outcome of his request for a management evaluation regarding his non-selection...

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que la r¨¦paration demand¨¦e dans la requ¨ºte concernait une question qui n'avait pas ¨¦t¨¦ soulev¨¦e auparavant devant l'UNDT ou l'UNAT, ¨¤ savoir le recouvrement d'un montant d¨¦j¨¤ pay¨¦ ¨¤ titre de d¨¦pense admissible selon une ¨¦chelle mobile.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ qu'il n'y avait rien de flou ou d'ambigu dans le sens ou la port¨¦e du jugement ant¨¦rieur, les termes de l'ordonnance ¨¦tant clairs. L¡¯UNAT a not¨¦ qu¡¯il n¡¯¨¦tait pas n¨¦cessaire d¡¯interpr¨¦ter le jugement ant¨¦rieur pour en clarifier le sens, et qu¡¯il n¡¯existait pas non plus de doutes raisonnables sur ce qui constituait la d¨¦cision de...

The UNAT found that the relief sought in the application concerned an issue not previously raised before the UNDT or the UNAT, being the recovery of an amount already paid as an admissible expense on a sliding scale.

The UNAT held that there was nothing in the meaning or scope of the prior Judgment that was unclear or ambiguous, the terms of the order were clear. The UNAT noted there was no need to interpret the prior Judgment to clarify its meaning, nor were there reasonable doubts about what constituted the UNAT¡¯s decision or the reasons for it.

The UNAT was of the view that there was also...

L'UNAT a examin¨¦ trois recours du requ¨¦rant.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que l'ordonnance contest¨¦e ¨¦tait une ordonnance interlocutoire et ne relevait manifestement pas de sa comp¨¦tence.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le requ¨¦rant n'avait pas pr¨¦sent¨¦ de documents prouvant qu'il ¨¦tait membre du personnel des Nations Unies et qu'il n'avait aucun statut juridique devant le Tribunal. L'UNAT a not¨¦ que rien ne prouvait qu'une offre d'engagement lui avait ¨¦t¨¦ adress¨¦e pour l'un ou l'autre poste. Deuxi¨¨mement, il n¡¯a pas accompli les formalit¨¦s pr¨¦alables au recrutement pour les deux postes. Troisi¨¨mement, il n'a pas...

The UNAT considered three appeals by the applicant.

The UNAT found that the impugned Order was an interlocutory order and was obviously beyond the competence of the UNAT.

The UNAT held that the applicant had not submitted documents to prove being a United Nations staff member and that he had no legal standing before the UNDT. The UNAT noted that there was no evidence of an offer of appointment having been issued to him for either post. Second, he failed to complete the pre-recruitment formalities for both posts. Third, he failed to confirm, within a reasonable time, his interest and...

L'UNAT a rejet¨¦ l'affirmation de M. Neupane selon laquelle l'UNDT avait commis une erreur en estimant qu'il contestait la d¨¦cision de r¨¦affectation alors qu'en fait il contestait l'absence d'habilitation du Comit¨¦ central de contr?le des missions et d'inscription sur la liste pour le poste r¨¦affect¨¦. La requ¨ºte ¨¦tait assez floue et portait principalement sur la question de la r¨¦gularit¨¦ de la d¨¦cision de r¨¦affectation qui ¨¦tait conforme ¨¤ la demande de contr?le hi¨¦rarchique de M. Neupane contestant directement et clairement sa r¨¦affectation. La question de l¡¯inscription sur la liste n¡¯a ¨¦t¨¦...

The UNAT dismissed Mr. Neupane's contention that the UNDT erred when it found that he was contesting the reassignment decision when in fact he was contesting the lack of his Field Central Review Board clearance and roster membership for the reassigned post. The application was quite unclear, and focused mainly on the question of regularity of the reassignment decision which was in line with Mr. Neupane¡¯s request for management evaluation challenging directly and clearly his reassignment. The issue of rostering was raised only as an argument to prove the alleged procedural irregularity of Mr...

M. Nastase a fait appel du jugement du Tribunal.

Le TANU a confirm¨¦ la conclusion du TDNU selon laquelle il n'avait pas ¨¦t¨¦ ¨¦tabli par des preuves que la d¨¦cision administrative de classer sa plainte ¨¦tait motiv¨¦e par un parti pris ¨¤ son encontre et ¨¦tait donc ill¨¦gale.

L'UNAT a rejet¨¦ l'affirmation de M. Nastase selon laquelle le Tribunal avait commis une erreur en concluant que le fait qu'en 2019, M. Nastase avait d¨¦pos¨¦ une plainte contre le CIOS pour mauvaise conduite n'avait aucun rapport avec ses probl¨¨mes de performance. L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que ces ¨¦v¨¦nements ne faisant pas partie de sa...

Mr. Nastase appealed the UNDT Judgment.

The UNAT affirmed the UNDT's finding that it had not been established by evidence that the administrative decision to close his complaint was actuated by bias against him and was therefore unlawful.

The UNAT dismissed Mr. Nastase's contention that the UNDT erred in finding that the fact that in 2019, Mr. Nastase had filed a complaint against the CIOS alleging misconduct was unrelated to his performance issues. The UNAT found that because these events were not part of his complaint of harassment and abuse of authority in relation to his performance...

? titre pr¨¦liminaire, l¡¯UNAT a acc¨¦d¨¦ ¨¤ la demande d¡¯anonymat d¡¯AAM. Consid¨¦rant que le jugement contenait des d¨¦tails m¨¦dicaux concernant AAM, l'UNAT a jug¨¦ n¨¦cessaire de prot¨¦ger ses informations confidentielles.

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ qu¡¯il y avait quatre questions ¨¤ trancher en appel : 1) la question de savoir si l¡¯appel d¡¯AAM ¨¦tait th¨¦orique/pr¨¦matur¨¦ ¨¤ la lumi¨¨re d¡¯une d¨¦cision m¨¦dicale en cours ; 2) si le Tribunal a commis une erreur en concluant que le Contr?leur avait le pouvoir d¨¦l¨¦gu¨¦ de rejeter la demande d¡¯indemnisation d¡¯AAM au titre de l¡¯Annexe D ; 3) si le Tribunal a commis une...

As a preliminary matter, the UNAT granted AAM¡¯s request for anonymity. Considering that the Judgment set out medical details regarding AAM, the UNAT found it necessary to protect his confidential information.

The UNAT found that there were four issues for adjudication on appeal: 1) whether AAM¡¯s appeal was moot/premature in light of a pending medical determination; 2) whether the UNDT erred in finding that the Controller had the delegated authority to deny AAM¡¯s claim for compensation under Appendix D; 3) whether the UNDT erred in finding that the decision of the Controller was reasonable...

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

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal avait examin¨¦ la d¨¦cision disciplinaire de mani¨¨re approfondie et m¨¦thodique ; le Tribunal n¡¯a pas commis d¡¯erreur de fait ou de droit en proc¨¦dant ¨¤ l¡¯analyse de proportionnalit¨¦ et il n¡¯y a eu aucune irr¨¦gularit¨¦ dans l¡¯enqu¨ºte et la proc¨¦dure disciplinaire justifiant une intervention.

L'UNAT a convenu que l'obligation de ne pas divulguer d'informations internes ne se limite pas aux informations confidentielles. L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que m¨ºme si la fonctionnaire exer?ait des fonctions de liaison avec les...
