(Case T-12/10 P)
2010/C 63/86
Language of the case: Italian

Parties


Appellant: Luigi Marcuccio (Tricase, Italy) (represented by G. Cipressa, lawyer)

Other party to the proceedings: European Commission

Form of order sought by the appellant







—


In any event, set aside in its entirety and without exception the order under appeal.










—


Declare that the action at first instance, in relation to which the order under appeal was made, was perfectly admissible in its entirety and without any exception whatsoever.










—


Allow in its entirety and without any exception whatsoever the relief sought by the appellant at first instance.










—


Order the Commission to reimburse the appellant in respect of all costs, disbursements and fees incurred by him in relation to both the proceedings at first instance and the present appeal proceedings.










—


In the alternative, refer the case back to the Civil Service Tribunal, sitting in a different formation, for a fresh decision.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The present appeal is brought against the order made by the Civil Service Tribunal (CST) on 29 October 2009 in Case F-94/08 Marcuccio v Commission. That order dismissed as manifestly inadmissible an action for annulment of the note of 28 March 2008 by which the European Commission informed the appellant of its intention to make a deduction from his invalidity benefit in order to secure payment of the costs incurred in earlier proceedings.
In support of his claims, the appellant alleges distortion and misrepresentation of the facts in the order under appeal, a total failue to state reasons and misapplication and misinterpretation of the principle tempus regit actum and of the concept of a decision having an adverse effect.
