Court formation: Appeals Chamber
Based on: Merger Treaty (1965)
Subject matter: Staff regulations and employment conditions - EC
Procedure: Appeal - unfounded;Appeal - inadmissible;Staff cases

Summary Procedure – Costs – Taxation – Specific procedure excluding the use of a procedure for liability (Art. 236 EC; Rules of Procedure of the General Court, Art. 92(1); Staff Regulations, Arts 90 and 91) The specific procedure for seeking taxation of costs, provided for in Article 92(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court, excludes any claim for the same sums, or sums expended for the same purposes, in connection with proceedings alleging non-contractual liability on the part of the European Union. The application of that principle in an action alleging non-contractual liability on the part of a Union institution in its capacity as an official’s employer does not constitute an infringement of Articles 90 and 91 of the Staff Regulations, since the relationship which exists between the parties under the Staff Regulations is independent of the fact that the legislature introduced, on the taxation of costs, a specific procedure laid down in Article 92(1) of the Rules of Procedure, which applies without exception to actions in staff cases.
