UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

An applicant must identify, or define, a specific administrative decision capable of being reviewed. The contested decision which may be reviewed by the Dispute Tribunal is not the Administration’s response to the request for management evaluation, but the administrative decision that is alleged to be in non-compliance with the terms of appointment or the contract of employment of the staff member. When deciding the scope of the case, the Tribunal is not limited to the parties’ own identification and definition of the contested administrative decision(s) and may, based on the submissions, seek to identify the subject(s) of judicial review by itself.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The application contests a decision regarding the Applicant’s relocation grant following his temporary assignment to the United Nations Verification Mission in Columbia (“UNVMC”).

Legal Principle(s)

The Tribunal is not limited to the parties’ own identification and definition of a contested administrative decision.
