Full judgment

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Tribunal found that the Applicant had been notified of his placement on special leave without pay in August 2018 and he requested for management evaluation on 6 July 2019, almost a year after the contested decision was communicated to him. The request fell way out of the 60-day deadline. The application was accordingly dismissed as not receivable.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested UNAMID’s decision to place him on special leave without pay.

Legal Principle(s)

Pursuant to staff rule 11.2(c ), a request for a management evaluation shall not be receivable by the Secretary-General unless it is sent within 60 calendar days from the date on which the staff member received the notification of the administrative decision to be contested. As per the settled jurisprudence, the Dispute Tribunal may only review decisions that have been subject of a proper and timely request for management evaluation.
