Summary Officials – Actions – Interest in bringing an action (Staff Regulations, Arts 60, first para., 90 and 91) An official cannot demonstrate a vested, current interest in bringing an action for annulment against a decision refusing to sign a ‘no expenses’ travel order, in other words one which gives rise to no reimbursement of travel costs or daily allowances, where that refusal has not resulted in the official’s absence being set against his annual leave. Since the annulment of the contested decision has no effect on his financial situation, he cannot rely on an interest that is merely and, in the present case, broadly hypothetical, based on the possibility that the administration may set that absence against his annual leave in future. (see paras 35-37)
