38As regards the existence of an ‘objective ground’, it follows from the case-law that that concept must be understood as referring to precise and concrete circumstances characterising a given activity, which are therefore capable, in that particular context, of justifying the use of successive fixed-term employment contracts. Those circumstances may result, in particular, from the specific nature of the tasks for the performance of which such contracts have been concluded and from the inherent characteristics of those tasks or, as the case may be, from pursuit of a legitimate social policy objective of a Member State (judgments of 23 April 2009, Angelidaki and Others, C‑378/07 to C‑380/07, EU:C:2009:250, paragraph 96 and the case-law cited; of 26 January 2012, Kücük, C‑586/10, EU:C:2012:39, paragraph 27, and of 13 March 2014, Márquez Samohano, C‑190/13, EU:C:2014:146, paragraph 45).
