Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of his appeal, the appellant relies on single plea in law, alleging error of law, as the CST held that annulment of the decision to limit the extension period of the appellant’s contract as a member of temporary staff would place him retroactively under the system of contracts of indefinite duration. The appellant argues that that is not the case and submits that the CST infringed his right to an effective judicial remedy in finding that he could not apply for partial annulment of the decision to limit the extension period of his contract, namely that part of the decision limiting the duration of the extension in time.
