Abolishment of the Applicant’s post: The Tribunal concluded that the Applicant’s post in Jordan was indeed abolished and that the abolition was part of a genuine organizational restructuring.

The Applicant was provided with sufficient and written notice of the Respondent’s restructuring strategy.

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed
