Consideration 7
Extract:
The complainant's appointment was terminated upon the abolition of his post. The organization offered him 5000 United States dollars in compensation for the delay in dealing with the case. The Tribunal holds that this "does not measure up to the degree of moral and material injury [the organization] has caused the complainant, whose health has grown much worse since termination. The Tribunal believes that more reasonable awards would be $8,000 in damages and $2,000 towards costs."
