(Appeal — Civil service — Officials — Promotion — 2005 promotion year — Award of priority points — Burden of proof — Rights of the defence — Appeal in part manifestly inadmissible and in part manifestly unfounded)
Appeal: brought against the judgment of the European Union Civil Service Tribunal (Second Chamber) of 29 September 2009 in Case F-102/07 Kerstens v Commission [2009] ECR-SC I-A-1-359 and II-A-1-1881, seeking the setting aside of that judgment.
Held: The appeal is dismissed. Mr Petrus Kerstens is to bear his own costs and to pay those incurred by the European Commission in the appeal proceedings.
3. Procedure — Written procedure
It is therefore admissible in an appeal before the General Court for the official concerned to rely on an error of law in the interpretation of the provisions applicable to the reporting procedure for officials.

3. The oral procedure is, like the written procedure, an essential and, save in certain cases expressly provided for, compulsory part of the judicial procedure allowing the parties to present their arguments properly and, in particular, to submit observations on arguments or evidence on which they have not had the opportunity to express their views during the written procedure. Consequently, the fact that a party has not had the opportunity to present in writing some of his observations on the substance, because the Civil Service Tribunal decided to allow the submission of a rejoinder only on matters of admissibility, does not constitute an infringement of the rights of the defence.
