Action brought on 10 December 2002 by Bernard Barbé against the European Parliament

    (Case T-371/02)

    Language of the Case: French

An action against the European Parliament was brought before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on 10 December 2002 by Bernard Barbé, resident at Luxembourg, represented by Alain Loraing, lawyer, with an address for service in Luxembourg.

The applicant claims that the Court should:

(rule that the Parliament wrongly has not passed on to him the deductions from Mrs Boez's salary which fell due up until 11 November 1998;

(order payment to him of the deductions made in respect of the months from March 1998 to November 1998 inclusive;

(order the defendant to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant challenges the decision of the appointing authority not to grant his request that the judgment of the Tribunal de Paix de Luxembourg (Magistrates' Court, Luxembourg) of 26 November 1998 be correctly implemented and that, consequently, the termination of attachment which was ordered, with effect from 11 November 1998, in respect of sums deducted by way of attachment from the salary of an official of the defendant institution take effect on that date and not in March 1998.

In support of his claims, the applicant pleads:

(the principle under which the institutions are bound by a duty to cooperate in good faith with national institutions;

(that the attachment procedure is entirely legal as regards Community law.
