Judgment JOYCE JOHN ILOMO v DAR CERAMICA CENTRE

The CMA had jurisdiction to determine tortious liability, but the applicant failed to prove a direct causal link between the termination and her alleged psychological and physical injuries. There was no legitimate expectation of contract renewal, and the evidence did not support the claim for compensation. The CMA correctly dismissed the application.
