Pleas in law and main arguments

By the present appeal, the applicant seeks the annulment of the order of the Civil Service Tribunal (CST) of 30 November 2009 in Case F-54/09 Lebedef v Commission, rejecting as manifestly devoid of any legal basis the action by which the applicant had sought annulment of a series of decisions concerning the deduction of 39 days from his annual leave for 2008.
In support of his appeal, the applicant raises nine pleas in law, alleging:






—


failure to have regard to the sixth paragraph of Article 1 of Annex II to the Staff Regulations and to Article 1(2) of the Framework Agreement governing relations between the Commission and the trade unions and professional organisations;










—


incorrect interpretation and application of the concept of freedom of association;










—


facts which did not exist in 2008;










—


failure to have regard to the decision of the Commission of 28 April 2004 laying down provisions applicable to absence due to illness or accident;










—


incorrect interpretation and application of the concepts ‘participation in staff representation’, ‘secondment for the purposes of trade union matters’ and ‘absence on trade union matters’;










—


distortion and misrepresentation of the facts and of the applicant’s assertions and material inaccuracy of the findings of the CST with regard to the registration of ‘irregular absences’ in SysPer2;










—


misinterpretation of the applicant’s declarations and an error in law committed by the CST by interpreting the concept of ‘absence’ as it is defined in Articles 57, 59 and 60 of the Staff Regulations;










—


an error in law committed by the CST in applying Article 60 of the Staff Regulations; and










—


a failure to state reasons with regard to various decisive points in the contested matter.
