Summary Officials — Reports procedure — Staff report — Judicial review — Limits (Staff Regulations, Art. 43) It is not for the EU judicature, save in the case of factual errors, manifest error of assessment or misuse of powers, to review the merits of the assessment made by the administration of the professional abilities of an official where it involves complex value judgments which, by their very nature, are not amenable to objective verification. In particular, it is not for the Civil Service Tribunal to substitute its appraisal for that of the persons responsible for assessing the person under appraisal, as the administration has a wide discretion when assessing the work of its officials.
