Action brought on 26 February 2024 – CN v Commission

(Case T-115/24)

Language of the case: French

Parties

Applicant: CN (represented by: N. De Montigny, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court should:

set aside the Appointing Authority’s decision of 8 May 2023 (Ares(2023)3230522) refusing to grant a double dependent child allowance to the appellant;

set aside, in so far as is necessary, the specific reply rejecting the claim notified by the Appointing Authority on 29 November 2023;

order the defendant to pay the costs.

Grounds of appeal and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on two pleas in law.

1.    First plea in law, alleging an error of law and an infringement of Article 67(3) of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union in so far as the Appointing Authority applied Article 9-1 of the European disability rating scale rather than Article 11 of that scale.

2.    Second plea in law, alleging that there was no specific and thorough examination and that there was a manifest error of assessment in that the file demonstrates that there are significant burdens connected with the disability of the applicant’s daughter.
