         Parties
      
      
         Applicant: ZU (represented by: C. Bernard-Glanz, lawyer)
      
         Defendant: European External Action Service (EEAS)
      
         Form of order sought
      
      The applicant claims that the Court should:
      
                  —
               
               
                  annul the decisions of the EEAS of 31 August 2018 and 10 January 2019, implementing the note of the Medical Service of 30 August 2018, by deducting sick leave;
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  order the defendant to pay the costs.
               
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
      
      In support of the action, the applicant relies on three pleas in law.
      
                  1.
               
               
                  First plea in law, alleging breach of the principle of good administration and duty of care, inflating cost estimates leading to unjustified attribution to the applicant of responsibility for not appearing for a medical check in Brussels.
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  Second plea in law, alleging misuse of powers with an indication of deliberate intent to undermine the applicant due to personal bias.
               
            
                  3.
               
               
                  Third plea in law, alleging manifest error of assessment with regard to the question whether the applicant’s legal situation had changed and a failure to analyse thoroughly why responsibility was attributed to the applicant for not appearing for a medical check.
