EXPATRIATE civil servants yesterday warned they would take the Government to court if there was no decision on four colleagues' applications to switch to local terms within two weeks.

Association of Expatriate Civil Servants president Royston Griffey yesterday met the acting Secretary for the Civil Service, Stuart Harbinson, to discuss the applications.

The four officers' contracts expire within two weeks.

''No decision has been made so far. That disappoints us,'' he said after the meeting.

''It's always very stressful and anxious for the individual officer waiting day after day, week after week for a decision on whether he is going to have a new contract or not,'' he said.

Mr Harbinson gave assurances the Government would make a decision on one case within two days and the remaining cases in about a week, he said.
