Procedural Posture

Public Service Employment Dispute / Final Judgment

  1. 1 Whether the refusal to promote the applicant following his interinstitutional transfer violated Article 45 of the Staff Regulations
  2. 2 Whether the refusal breached the principles of equal treatment and unicity of the EU civil service
  3. 3 Whether the applicant is entitled to damages for alleged material loss

Ratio Decidendi

The Tribunal held that the CJEU correctly applied its promotion system, including the prorata temporis measure, and was not required to award promotion points after the applicant's transfer date. The refusal to promote did not violate Article 45 of the Staff Regulations, the principle of equal treatment, or the unicity of the EU civil service. As no illegality was established, the claim for damages was also rejected.
