UNDT/2012/002, Nwuke

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Tribunal found that the Executive Secretary of ECA, who made the decision to fill the post from the roster, was not acting unlawfully in so doing, since ST/AI/2010/3 (Staff selection system) permitted this.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant sought suspension of the decision to fill the vacant position of Director, Regional Integration, Infrastructure and Trade Division, ECA, a decision of which he was notified on 27 July 2011. The vacancy had been advertised on INSPIRA but was filled from the roster prior to the expiry of the deadline for receiving applications.
