Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 8

Extract:

"When his post is abolished someone with a fixed-term appointment is ordinarily entitled to fair compensation or other redress. The amount and the manner of determining it will depend on the particular circumstances of the organisation and an assessment of the staff member's own situation, and seniority, record of service and the terms of his appointment. The decision must not be discriminatory or tainted with any other flaw."
