蘑菇视频AT Held or 蘑菇视频DT Pronouncements
蘑菇视频AT held that her appointment was terminated due to a lack of funding; several of her colleagues also had their fixed-term appointments terminated for the same reason at the same time. 蘑菇视频AT held that the fact that the Appellant may have complained about her working conditions or cooperated in any subsequent preliminary investigation into possible harassment, did not on its face exposes her to the termination. 蘑菇视频AT held that there was no reversible error on part of 蘑菇视频DT. 蘑菇视频AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the 蘑菇视频DT judgment.

Legal Principle(s)
