Procedural Posture

Recours En Annulation Et Indemnité (action for Annulment and Damages) / Final Judgment at First Instance

  1. 1 Whether the refusal to promote the applicant to grade C2 in 2001 violated Article 45 of the Staff Regulations
  2. 2 Whether the comparative assessment of merits was manifestly erroneous or discriminatory
  3. 3 Whether the applicant was subject to harassment affecting her career

Ratio Decidendi
