      Grounds of appeal and main arguments
   
   In support of his action, the appellant raises five grounds of appeal. In the appellant’s view, the Civil Service Tribunal considered that he had suffered harm as a result of the communication of information to his hierarchy, in so far as he was deprived of his functions of head of the legal service, but that that harm did result from an infringement of Articles 12A and 22A of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union.
   
               1.
            
            
               First ground of appeal: infringement of the notion of act adversely affecting an official and distortion of the file (concerning, essentially, paragraphs 44 to 64 of the judgment under appeal).
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Second ground of appeal: infringement of the principle of respect of the rights of the defence and an infringement of Article 41 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (concerning paragraphs 114 to 118 of the judgment under appeal).
            
         
               3.
            
            
               Third ground of appeal: infringement of Articles 12A, 22A and 86 of the Staff Regulation, and an infringement of the duty to state reasons and distortion of the file (concerning, essentially, paragraphs 133 et seq. of the judgment under appeal).
            
         
               4.
            
            
               Fourth ground of appeal: infringement of Article 86 of the Staff Regulations, of Annex IX thereto, of the general implementing provisions of Annex IX to the Staff Regulations and of the duty to respect the rights of the defence, distortion of the file, and an infringement of the duty to state reasons (concerning, essentially, paragraphs 75 to 78 of the judgment under appeal).
            
         
               5.
            
            
               Fifth ground of appeal: infringement of the rules relating to the competence of the institution which adopted the act and an infringement of Article 22A of the Staff Regulations and of Article 72 of the Rules of Procedure of the EESC (concerning paragraphs 70 and 71 of the judgment under appeal).
