UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Tribunal dismissed the application as irreceivable. The Applicant had requested the Tribunal to order a rescission of the decision to permanently withdraw his MINUSCA’s driver’s permit. The Tribunal noted that this request had been satisfied by the Administration. The relief having been fully granted, there was no longer a justiciable matter before the Tribunal, thus rendering the application moot.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested MINUSCA’s decision to permanently withdraw his driver’s permit due to various curfew violations.

Legal Principle(s)

Pursuant to the settled jurisprudence of the Tribunal, an application becomes moot insofar as either the matter is resolved in a manner consistent with the thrust of the application, for example, if the administration withdrew from the decision, or the claim was otherwise satisfied to the effect that there is no gravamen on the part of the applicant or the claim cannot be satisfied for objective reasons.
