Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant puts forward a sole plea in law in support of her
action, alleging infringement of Article 72 of the Staff Regula-
tions and a manifest error of assessment. She maintains that, by
the contested decisions, the Appointing Authority incorrectly
refused to recognise that
the ‘chronic fatigue syndrome’ of
which she suffers is a serious illness for the purposes of the
aforementioned article and, consequently,
to reimburse the
expenses relating to laboratory tests and medication relating to
including an in-depth
that illness. A number of documents,
medical study, demonstrate the seriousness of
the illness in
question and the need to provide 100 % reimbursement,
without limitation or restriction, for the costs of medication and
tests which the applicant declares she needed.
