Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the appeal, the appellants rely on two pleas in law:

First, the General Court erred in (a) finding that the appellants were able to exercise their right to an effective remedy under Article 47 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in circumstances where the respondents failed to provide key documents which were relied upon by the respondents and/or were materially relevant to the decisions subject to the application for annulment (Decision SRB/EES/2017/08 of the Executive Session of the SRB of 7 June 2017 concerning the adoption of a resolution scheme in respect of Banco Popular Español, SA, and Commission Decision (EU) 2017/1246 of 7 June 2017 endorsing the resolution scheme for Banco Popular Español S.A. (1)), including the unredacted version of the SRB Decision, that the appellants are seeking to have annulled; and (b) failing to have regard to and/or act consistently with the requirements associated with the right to a fair hearing and equality of arms guaranteed by Article 47 of the EU Charter.

Second, the General Court erred in finding that in order to establish that the respondents had committed a manifest error of assessment, the appellants must adduce evidence sufficient to render the factual assessments adopted by the respondents ‘implausible’.
