"I note that the letter (from the USE CEO) does not disclose the reasons for termination of my contract, which is renewable every three years. You will also note that during the last three years my performance has been satisfactory."

"I therefore had a legitimate expectation that my contract would be renewed for a further period of three years. In my view the manner in which my contract was terminated was unlawful"

"Failure to follow procedures renders such decisions improper and unlawful"

"Furthermore, as an institution that is expected to be at the forefront of the drive for good corporate governance and best practice; and requires its listed entities to abide by the highest corporate standards and which is viewed as a beacon; the failure to observe these basic norms in human resources and general management is an indictment on the institutional practices of USE that if not nipped in the bud will set a precedent for the future."
