UNDT/2019/130, Russo-Got

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The fact that the Applicant was a staff member of UNOPS when he applied for these contractor positions is not relevant to appreciate the receivability of the Applicant’s claims since, in the four instant cases, he contests four decisions not to select him on non-staff positions.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

Non-selection for several contractor positions.

Legal Principle(s)

The Dispute Tribunal is not competent to consider an application when it concerns the decision not to award a service contract, even if the applicant was a staff member at the time of the contested decision.

Outcome

Dismissed as not receivable
