UNDT/2016/119, Clarkson

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The UNDT found that the Applicant’s substantive post has not existed for the past two years and that the Applicant has temporarily encumbered vacant posts to which he was not recruited since then, it is evidently too late in the day to challenge the abolition of his post which took place in 2013. General Assembly Resolutions - To the extent that the decision to abolish the Applicant’s post was that of the GA, this Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to review the said decision.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

On 10 July 2015, the Applicant filed an Application contesting the decision to abolish his former post and the offer of a three-month renewal of his current contract on another position.
