Language of the case: French
Appellant: European Commission (represented by: T. S. Bohr and L. Hohenecker, acting as Agents)
Other party to the proceedings: AH
The appellant claims that the Court should:
—set aside the judgment of the General Court in Case T-1093/23;
—refer the case back to the General Court; and
—reserve the costs of these proceedings.
In support of its appeal, the Commission relies on two grounds of appeal:
(1)The first ground of appeal alleges an error of law in the interpretation of Article 4(1) of Annex VII to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union (‘the Staff Regulations’; paragraphs 34 to 42, 44 to 48, 53 and 60 of the judgment under appeal).
(a)By the first part, the Commission disputes the General Court’s analysis of existing case-law and the finding it drew from that analysis. The General Court incorrectly found that the appellant’s situation in the present case was not the same as that of the applicant in Quadri di Cardano v Commission (1).
(b)By the second part, the Commission disputes the finding that there was continuity between the appellant’s contracts. The General Court incorrectly failed to attach any importance to the fact that the appellant had changed employers.
(2)The second ground of appeal alleges a breach of the General Court’s obligation to state reasons for its judgments (paragraphs 34 and 38, 46 to 48, 53 and 60 of the judgment under appeal). The General Court has not given any valid reasons for not following the interpretation previously given by the Courts of the European Union to Article 4(1) of Annex VII to the Staff Regulations, other than referring to the allegedly different situation of the applicants in the cases on which the Court had already ruled, compared to the situation of the appellant in the present case.
