UNAT preliminarily denied the request for an oral hearing. UNAT considered the appeal, specifically whether the Appellant had a legitimate expectation for the renewal of his fixed-term contract and rights related to the renewal of his fixed-term contract. UNAT noted that in the absence of any evidence of a firm commitment of renewal, there was no basis to support the Appellant’s claim of legitimate expectation and/or right for the renewal of his contract. UNAT further held that it was clear from the evidence that the Administration was involved in the process of revising the activities in Iraq and realigning its functions. UNAT agreed with UNDT’s findings that the Appellant was adequately consulted on the Organisational restructuring before the contested decision was taken and that the contested decision was not ill-motivated or taken in bad faith. UNAT accordingly dismissed the appeal and upheld UNDT’s judgment.
