UNDT/2010/162, Kurspahic

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The application was withdrawn by the Applicant in view of the informal resolution of the dispute.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant challenges the non-renewal of his fixed-term contract, alleging that it was improperly motivated, that the Organisation failed to make a proper effort to find him an alternate post upon the abolition of his former post, and that the process which resulted in the closure of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime Caribbean Regional Office, where he worked, was flawed. On this basis he seeks compensation in the amount recommended by the Joint Appeals Board (JAB), being two years and two months’ net base salary, plus interest.
