Procedural Posture

Appeal (pourvoi) With Application for Interim Measures (référé) / Order on Appeal Regarding Interim Measures

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the interim order of the General Court should be annulled in part or in full
  2. 2 Whether the applicant has standing and interest to appeal the interim order
  3. 3 Whether the General Court erred in its assessment of fumus boni juris and the balance of interests

Ratio Decidendi

The appeal was rejected because Vivendi's grounds did not directly challenge the decisive points of the interim order regarding the limitation of suspension to documents containing personal data. The General Court's assessment of fumus boni juris and the balance of interests was not shown to be erroneous. The appeal was thus unfounded and inoperative.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • The appeal is rejected.
  • Vivendi SE shall bear its own costs and those of the Commission.
