(Case C-262/22 P)

Language of the case: English

Other parties to the proceedings: European Commission, European Central Bank, Council of the European Union, European Council, QK, QO, QR, QS, QV

Form of order sought

The Appellants claim that the Court should:

set aside the judgment under appeal ;

refer the case back to the General Court ;

order the defendants to pay their own costs and the costs of the Appellants in the present proceedings.

Pleas in law and main arguments

With the present appeal, the Appellants respectfully request the Court of Justice to review and set aside the appealed judgment, on the basis of two grounds :

First, that the General Court performed an inadequate examination of the third plea of illegality of the application, alleging a sufficiently serious breach of the right to property guaranteed by Article 17(1) of the Charter. In turn, this improper examination resulted in the misapplication and infringement of the Appellants’ right to property.

Second, that the General Court infringed the principle of proportionality.
