If the contract was completed and then not renewed or terminated with due compensation..... And she is an expat, then the due process was followed and she has no claim. She can't prove the reason was maternity. It seems to be standard redundancy. But if they lay her off citing redundancy and then fill the exact same position - then she can create some problems for them.
