(Case C-750/21 P)
(2022/C 95/20)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Appellant: Pilatus Bank plc (represented by: O. Behrends, Rechtsanwalt)

Other party to the proceedings: European Central Bank (ECB)

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court should:






—


set aside the order under appeal;










—


declare void pursuant to Article 264 TFEU the ECB’s decision of 21 December 2018 declaring to the appellant that it was no longer competent to ensure its direct prudential supervision and to take measures concerning it;










—


to the extent that the Court of Justice is not in a position to take a decision on the merits to refer the case back to the General Court for it to determine the action for annulment; and










—


order the ECB to pay the appellant's costs and the costs of this appeal.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the appeal, the appellant relies on two grounds of appeal.
First ground of appeal alleging that the General Court misinterpreted the provisions of Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 (1) by falsely assuming that the ECB has no further competence with respect to the appellant as a result of the appellant’s loss of license.
Second ground of appeal alleging that the General Court fails to address appropriately the pleas in law of the appellant which do not concern the alleged lack of competence of the ECB.

(Case T-761/21)
(2022/C 51/51)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicants: Fabien Courtois (Rueil-Malmaison, France) and 2088 other applicants (represented by: A. Durand, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


declare the applicants’ claims admissible and well founded;










—


annul the implied decision of rejection of 24 September 2021 arising from the failure to reply to the confirmatory application submitted by the applicants on 13 August 2021;










—


order the Commission to pay the costs of these proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicants rely on two pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law based on the admissibility of the action. The applicants claim, in that regard, that they have standing as applicants entitled to bring an action for the purposes of Article 8(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (1) (‘Regulation 1049/2001’) and as addressees of the contested act within the meaning of Article 263(4) TFEU. The applicants further state that they have an interest in bringing proceedings arising from the Commission’s refusal of access to documents in its implied decision of rejection of 24 September 2021 and the infringement of their fundamental rights by the contested decision.










2.


Second plea in law based on the internal legality of the Commission’s decision. The applicants claim that the Commission infringed the applicants’ right of access to documents by relying on incomplete and erroneous grounds. The applicants further argue that they rely on overriding public interests which justify access to the documents. Lastly, the applicants consider that the Commission infringed the principle of proportionality in that it went beyond what was necessary to achieve its objectives.
