Man wins case against THA

Hayden Waldron, who worked with the division, filed a judicial review claim against Dianne Baker Henry, administrator of the Division of Education, Youth Affairs and Sports, after the division failed to renew his employment contract.

Waldron was represented by attorney Martin George.

In his lawsuit, Waldron said he was not the official who awarded the contract in question and complained that the division did not invite him to be a part of its investigations, which found alleged breaches in the award. He said he was dismissed by the division, which refused to renew his contract.

In her ruling, Justice Margaret Mohammed held that the division breached the rules of natural justice and procedural fairness by failing to give Waldron an opportunity to be heard. She also held that he was not treated fairly and quashed the decision of the division not to renew his employment contract.

The matter has been sent back to the division for a review of that decision. The division was also ordered to pay his costs. The THA was represented by attorney Akianne Duke.
