PHILIPSBURG:--- On May 21, 2025, the Board of Appeal in Civil Service Cases delivered a landmark decision regarding the dismissal of the Secretary-General (SG) Hensley Plantijn of the Ministry of General Affairs in Sint Maarten. The ruling overturned the 2022 governmental decision to discharge the SG, declaring the dismissal invalid and ordering compensation for legal costs. The case, marked by conflicting evaluations of performance, management disputes, and procedural concerns, has sparked significant administrative debate.
