Judgement No. 56
Jodgement No. 56 283 It should be noted that in so doing the Applicant refers to the absence of any examination of his position and the inadequacy of the efforts made to find him employment. The Tribunal, having already dealt with these two points, does not consider it necessary to institute the inquiry requested by the Applicant. Whatever the results of such an inquiry, the Tribunal does not see how they could affect the conclusions set forth in paragraphs 6 and 9 above. 13. For these reasons the Tribunal, while noting the failure to comply with an obligation under the Regulations, is bound to dismiss the application, there being no necessary legal connexion between such failure and the decision to terminate the Applicant.
