Decision

The application is dismissed.

Consideration 5

Extract:

"[The complainant] pleads 'grave breaches' of due process in his [...] complaint. But the only one he cites is the rejection of his application for hearings. As the Tribunal has said time and again - for example in Judgment 442 [...] - failure to hear evidence is not an admissible plea for review."
