UNDT/2020/083

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Applicant does not question whether this presentation of the applicable law is comprehensible, but rather intends to reargue his case that the contested selection processes were unlawful. As the Tribunal further finds that paras. 14 to 17, as well as the remaining parts of Judgment No. UNDT/2020/075, are straightforward and easy to understand.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

Application for interpretation of judgment

Legal Principle(s)

Interpretation is only needed to clarify the meaning of a judgment when it leaves reasonable doubt about the will of the Tribunal or the arguments leading to a decision. Accordingly, if the judgment is comprehensible, whatever opinion the parties may have about it or its reasoning, an application for interpretation is not admissible. Where the Dispute Tribunal determines that a party has manifestly abused the proceedings before it, it may award costs against that party. The Dispute Tribunal may award of costs for the filing of a frivolous application.
