UNDT/2019/057, Jean
The Applicant’s appointment was not renewed due to the reclassification of her post from G-4 to G-6 level, and there was a legitimate reason for the reclassification, and thus abolishment of the Applicant’s post. The Applicant has not met her burden of proving that the contested decision was biased or was motivated by other improper purposes. There was insufficient evidence that the Administration made a firm commitment or express promise to renew the Applicant’s fixed-term appointment. The Applicant having provided no evidence of any harm, there is no basis for an award for moral damages.
