    The applicant claims that the Court should:

    In support of the action, the applicant relies on eight pleas in law.

    5.

    Fifth plea in law, alleging infringement of the duty to care towards staff, a failure to take into account the interests of both the institution and the applicant, and the disproportionate nature of the decision in view of the actual interest of the institution.

    6.

    Sixth plea in law, alleging infringement of the right to respect for private and family life set out in Article 7 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (‘the Charter’) as well as the right to a work-life balance set out in Article 33 of the Charter.

    7.

    Seventh plea in law, alleging infringement of the effective right to employment and failure to provide fair working conditions.
