Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Considerations

Extract:

"[T]he Tribunal will accept the unanimous opinion of the Medical Board, which consisted of three especially well-qualified physicians [...]." The organization was unable to find a post which, on the advice of the physicians, would have been suitable. The complainant's performance was not beyond criticism but the main reason for the impossibility of finding a suitable post for her "was that her duties were highly technical and so there were few posts suitable for her". Her appointment was terminated correctly.
