Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the appeal, the appellant relies on three pleas in law.

1.First plea in law, alleging breach of the law and a restriction of the rights of the defence of the appellant, since the Civil Service Tribunal (CST) wrongly considered that it had insufficient information from the documents produced by the parties and, in consequence, took the view that the oral procedure should not be opened.

2.Second plea in law, alleging an error of law, since the CST wrongly considered that the appellant’s argument that an agreement such as the service agreement ‘does not remove the responsibility from the proxy holder’, manifestly failing to taking account of the wording of Article 2(2) and Article 91a of the Staff Regulations.

3.Third plea in law, alleging infringement of the appellant’s right to effective access to the courts.
