UNAT held that the appeal was entirely without merit. UNAT held that UNDT was correct to find that the facts supporting the disciplinary measure had been established and to conclude that those facts amounted to misconduct.

UNAT held that UNDT correctly found...

UNAT held that the disciplinary sanction of separation from service with compensation in lieu of notice and...
