The Applicant, a former staff member of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (“MINUSTAH”), contested the decisions (i) not to include her in a comparative review process taking place as part of a retrenchment exercise and (ii) not to extend her appointment beyond the date of abolition of her post, which coincided with the date of expiration of her contract. The UNDT found that MINUSTAH erred when it excluded the Applicant from the comparative review process. The UNDT found that process should have included all staff for all available posts at the Mission after retrenchment, which was not done in this case. The UNDT found that the Applicant’s rights were breached in that she was not reviewed by the comparative review panel against all the remaining posts in the new mission structure. The UNDT found, however, that the Applicant’s contract expired and was not terminated. The UNDT found that the decision to separate the Applicant was lawful since it was not possible to extend her contract against a post which was being abolished at the expiration of her appointment. The unlawful decision not to include the Applicant in the comparative review process had therefore no legal consequences to her contract.
