Action brought on 19 May 2017 — Stips v Commission
(Case T-311/17)
Language of the case: French
Parties
Applicant: Adolf Stips (Besozzo, Italy) (represented by: S. Orlandi and T. Martin, lawyers)
Defendant: European Commission
Form of order sought
Declare and rule,
principally, that the decision of the AECE of 19 August 2016 not to reclassify the applicant in grade AD 13 in the 2013 reclassification procedure is annulled;
in the alternative, that the Commission is ordered to make good in full the harm, both pecuniary and non-pecuniary, suffered by the applicant;
in any event, that the Commission is ordered to pay the costs.
Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicant relies on a single plea in law, alleging an infringement of Article 266 TFEU, in that the Commission ignored the grounds for the judgment of 19 July 2016, Stips v Commission (F-131/15, EU:F:2016:154) and executed that judgment in bad faith, thus undermining the force of res judicata given absolute effect by the Civil Service Tribunal.
