(Case T-267/24)

(C/2025/1229)

Language of the case: Greek

Parties

Applicant: Christofer Edge (Athens, Greece) (represented by: G. Karampoulia, lawyer)

Defendant: European Investment Bank

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:

—annul the decision of the European Investment Bank of 6 February 2024;

—award the applicant the amount of EUR 9 200 in reimbursement of school fees for the year 2023-2024;

—award the applicant the amount of EUR 7 200 in reimbursement of school fees for the year 2023-2024;

—annul the decisions of the European Investment Bank of 4 October 2023 and 13 October 2023 rejecting the applicant’s requests for reimbursement of his children’s school fees;

—order the European Investment Bank to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant raises the following pleas in law:

Infringement of the principle of legitimate expectations reasonably formed by the applicant, from the time when he was recruited, as to the fact that his children’s school fees would be covered during his temporary period of employment with the defendant.

Coverage of his childrens’ school fees was part of the applicant’s ‘package’, on account of which he decided to relocate to Bucharest while his family continued to reside in Greece.

At no point was it implied that this benefit could be unilaterally amended by decision of the defendant in respect of a member of the temporary staff such as the applicant.
