SUMMARY — CASE T-41/00 
The admissibility of an action for annul­
ment brought by a natural or legal person is 
dependent upon the condition that the 
person concerned demonstrate a legal inter­
est in bringing proceedings. Therefore, an 
annulment action by one legal person 
against a Commission decision addressed 
to another legal person, refusing the latter 
access to documents, is inadmissible.
