The Applicant contested the decision not to renew his temporary appointment.

Legal Principle(s)

The deadline for requesting management evaluation cannot be waived. A receipt of management evaluation which had been requested after the deadline is not capable of resetting the time for challenging an administrative decision by nearly two years.
