Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the appeal, the appellant relies on 22 grounds of appeal.
He complains inter alia of lack of jurisdiction of the panel which made the contested decisions; unlawful refusal to give judgment in default; unlawfulness of the extensions of time granted to the Commission; refusal to allow the claim to be extended; failure to carry out the required joinder of the case with other cases between the parties; incorrect account of the facts in the preliminary report for the hearing and in the judgment under appeal; bias on the part of the judge-rapporteur; infringement of the Court’s rules on language; and discrimination against the appellant on linguistic grounds and failure to translate procedural documents.
The appellant further claims that the Civil Service Tribunal erred in law and gave inadequate reasons for its judgment, with reference inter alia to the interpretation and application of Articles 11, 25, 26, 26a and 90 et seq. of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union, Articles 6, 8 and 13 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, Articles 8, 41, 42, 47 and 52 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, Article 6 et seq. of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, (1) and Article 11 et seq. of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001.
