UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

UNAT considered the Appellant’s appeal and upheld UNDT’s judgment. UNAT noted that the Appellant’s request that her challenge of the first recruitment process be placed in abeyance until completion of the second recruitment process was unusual and rightly declined by UNDT. UNAT held that no right of the Appellant was infringed upon, as she had not been denied an opportunity to compete for the post in question. UNAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed UNDT’s judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant requested that UNDT stay the proceedings in her case, concerning a recruitment exercise she has challenged, pending the outcome of the ongoing recruitment process for another post she applied to. UNDT denied her application in its entirety.
