Background
The appellant, an international NGO, employed respondents on fixed-term contracts as guards from 2008-2011. After contracts expired due to funding constraints, respondents were invited for interviews for new positions but were not selected. They claimed unfair dismissal under s 12B(3)(b) based on legitimate expectation of re-engagement.
