Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Summary

Extract:

The complainant's permanent post was abolished and he was appointed to a temporary one for a period of two years. Any post, whatever its duration or source of funding, may be abolished because of a change of programme. Besides, the organisation had assured him that his post description, status and conditions of service would be the same as before. Under the circumstances the Tribunal finds that the decision has neither infringed his contractual rights nor otherwise affected him adversely.
