Summary 1. EU law — Principles — Protection of legitimate expectations — Conditions — Precise assurances given by the administration — Conformity of the assurances with the relevant rules 2. Appeals — Grounds — Ground alleging failure to make a temporal adjustment to the effects of a judgment — Judgment dismissing an action for annulment — Ground of appeal unfounded (Art. 264 TFEU) 1. See the text of the decision. (see para. 23) 2. It is clear from Article 264 TFEU that, where the European Union Court declares a contested act to be void, it may, if it considers this necessary, state which of the effects of the act which it has declared void are to be considered definitive. In the context of an appeal against a judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal, the appellant cannot reasonably criticise the Tribunal for not using its power to make a temporal adjustment to the effects of a judgment in an action for annulment, since, in the judgment under appeal, the Tribunal did not annul the contested decision but dismissed the appellant’s action. (see paras 31-32)
