UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

Since the management evaluation in this case has been completed, one of the cumulative and mandatory conditions specified in art. 2.2 of the Tribunal’s Statute is not fulfilled. The Tribunal will therefore not examine if the remaining statutory requirements have been met, as the matter now lies moot.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant requests suspension of action, pending management evaluation, of the decision to not renew his fixed-term appointment (“FTA”) beyond 30 June 2024 following the abolishment of his post.

Legal Principle(s)

An application for suspension of action can only be entertained under the jurisdiction of the Dispute Tribunal when the contested decision in challenge is the subject of an ongoing management evaluation.

Outcome

Suspension of action denied
