Appeal brought on 8 February 2022 by QB against the judgment of the General Court (Fourth Chamber) delivered on 8 December 2021 in Case T-71/21, QB v Commission

(Case C-88/22 P)

Language of the case: English

Parties

Appellant: QB (represented by: R. Wardyn, radca prawny)

Other party to the proceedings: European Commission

Form of order sought

The Appellant claims that the Court should:

set aside the judgment under the appeal, in whole;

and, therefore

annul the decisions of the European Commission of 6th April 2020 and 3rd November 2020,

or, failing that,

refer the case back to the General Court for judgment, and

order the European Commission to pay its own costs of the process as well as those of the Applicant in both instances.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the Appellant relies on one plea in law alleging violation of article 4 (1) of Annex VII of Staff Regulations and claims that the General Court:

erred in determining the main occupation of the Appellant as it disregarded the work done by the Appellant for the State of Poland and his status of a judge;

erred in defining the conditions of ‘work done for another state’;

disregarded and failed to take account of the work done by the Appellant for the State of Poland and his status of a judge while examining the exception of ‘work done for another state’.
