Question juridique clé
Whether a civil servant must be heard before a non-renewal decision and the reasons disclosed concretely enough.
Solution extraite
Yes. Before a non-renewal decision, the officer must be heard and informed in sufficiently concrete terms of the intended reasons so that he can meaningfully respond and offer counterevidence.
Motifs extraits
A non-renewal decision is not adjudication, but because of its serious impact it is subject to the constitutional right to be heard. Mere general allegations are insufficient; the affected person must know the concrete allegations to defend himself effectively.
