Procedural Posture

Appeal / Judgment on Appeal

  1. 1 Whether the Tribunal of the Civil Service was impartial and whether the recusal request was properly handled
  2. 2 Whether the applicant's rights of defence and right to effective judicial protection were violated
  3. 3 Whether the committee handling complaints was competent under EU law

Ratio Decidendi

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to demonstrate any error of law or procedural irregularity in the handling of her recusal request, that the Tribunal of the Civil Service was impartial, that the committee handling complaints was competent under the applicable legal framework, that the applicant's rights of defence and to an effective remedy were not violated, and that the Tribunal did not err in its assessment of the need for further measures of inquiry or in requiring a prior administrative claim for compensation. The appeal was therefore dismissed in its entirety.
