Facts of the Case

Background

The respondents' fixed-term contracts expired on 30 April 2015, but the appellant allowed them to continue working until 22 June 2015 without new contracts. The appellant then offered new one-year contracts with less favorable terms, which the respondents rejected. The appellant terminated their employment, leading to a dispute over whether the expired contracts had been tacitly renewed.
