Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicant relies on a single plea in law, divided into two parts.
The first part alleges infringement of the principle of equal treatment and non-discrimination and infringement of the right to be heard, in that the Appointing Authority based its decision on rules showing cases different from the applicant’s without having heard her or allowed her to put forward her observations to influence the content of the proposed decision and, in consequence, infringed her rights of the defence.
The second part alleges infringement of the principle of sound administration and the duty of care, and a manifest error of assessment of the facts committed by the Appointing Authority, in that it could have considered the allowances for incapacity for work in the light of the general rules of reimbursement of the Joint Rules. The applicant is of the opinion that there is no statutory provision which prevents those allowances from being accumulated with the income drawn from her professional activity, on the ground that her medical situation and her degree of incapacity do not correspond to the medical invalidity criteria provided for in the Staff Regulations of Officials.
