Pleas in law and main arguments

Pleas in law and main arguments

On 3 June 2004 the applicant, an official of the Court of
Justice, lodged a claim for compensation for the material and
non-material loss that she alleges she has suffered as a result of
the blocking of her career since the new promotion system was
introduced in 2000. Both that claim and her complaint having
been rejected, the applicant has brought this action. In support
of her heads of claim, she argues that the alleged blocking of
her career, and also the material and non-material loss that she
has allegedly suffered, are due to serious and repeated irregula-
rities and failures to act on the part of the Court's administra-
tion, as regards both her staff reports and the number of
promotion points awarded on that basis.

The applicant was recruited by the Commission as a member
of the temporary staff, for a post for which the level of respon-
sibility had been fixed in the vacancy notice by reference to
Grades A7 to A4, which, according to the new system, are
equivalent to Grades A*8 to A*12. Upon recruitment, however,
the applicant's classification was fixed at Grade A*6.

The applicant contests that decision and relies on the same
pleas in law as the applicant in Case T-196/05.
