Judgment keywords

Keywords

fixed-term; non-renewal of contract; complaint dismissed

Consideration 11

Extract:

The Tribunal is satisfied that the memorandum of 2 October 2013, objectively construed, did not, in all the circumstances of the case, constitute an administrative decision in respect of which review could be sought under the Staff Rules (see Judgment 2739, consideration 13). There is an obvious qualification in the first paragraph set out earlier that what the complainant was being told in a letter about his entitlements was conditional. That is to say it was subject to the outcome of attempts to find another position for the complainant. These matters had been the subject of discussions between the complainant and UNIDO in September 2013. It is true that paragraph 7 speaks, explicitly, of when the complainant’s last day of work would be. However that paragraph should not be taken out of context and, in particular, the context created by the first paragraph. Moreover, and significantly, no decision had, at this time, been made not to renew the complainant’s contract and such a decision was not made by the Director General until 29 October 2013, which was a matter known to the complainant when he lodged his internal appeal.
