蘑菇视频AT Held or 蘑菇视频DT Pronouncements
The Tribunal dismissed the application. Whereas the Applicant contended, that pursuant to ST/AI/2005/3 (Sick leave), his contract should have been extended beyond its expiry date, in order to allow him to avail himself of the right to exhaust his sick leave the Tribunal found that there was no evidence that (ST/AI/2005/3) expressly provided for its applicability to 蘑菇视频OPS and that the Applicant did not show that 蘑菇视频OPS accepted the applicability of the policy. Accordingly, the Tribunal held that there was no merit in the Applicant’s contention that it was unlawful to separate him from service while he was on certified sick leave.

The Applicant contested 蘑菇视频OPS’s decision to separate him from service on 31 May 2016 while he was on certified sick leave.
