Summary

Extract:

The complainant's appointment was terminated, and the rule concerning termination of limited duration posts, applied. The complainant contends that the rule for posts of indefinite duration should have been applied. The Tribunal held that posts attached to projects whose own duration is limited, are likewise of limited duration. The complainant's post came under such a project.
