UNAT considered a (second) appeal by the Appellant. Taking into account that neither UNDT nor UNAT had been presented with any submission on the merits of the case, UNAT ordered the Appellant to file a concise statement identifying the precise nature of his claim within 15 days. UNAT allowed the appeal and set aside the UNDT judgment.

UNAT preliminarily rejected the request for an oral hearing since there was no need for further clarification. UNAT held that the appeal was not receivable for not being filed against a final judgment. UNAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the UNDT judgment.
