UNAT held that there was no error in UNDT’s finding that the application was moot and thus, not receivable. UNAT held that the UNDT’s decision to dispose of the issue of compensation as part of another case was a case management decision well within the discretion of UNDT and caused no injustice to the Appellant. UNAT observed that it should never have been called on to review the UNDT’s decision since the fact that the application was moot was obvious. UNAT held that the Appellant had manifestly abused the appeals process by filing an appeal that was blatantly frivolous. UNAT opined that the Appellant was fortUNATe that on this occasion the Secretary-General had not made an application for costs and that, should the Appellant ever bring an appeal with such lack of merit again, he should be prepared to face an award of costs. UNAT held that the Appellant had not established that UNDT fell into any error. UNAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the UNDT judgment.
