      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   In support of the appeal, the appellant relies on three grounds of appeal.
   
               1.
            
            
               First ground of appeal, alleging that the judgment under appeal was delivered by a formation of the Tribunal composed in infringement of Article 27(3) of the Rules of Procedure of the CST.
               The appellant is of the view that that infringement is characterised by the fact that Council Decision 2016/454 appointing three Judges to the European Union Civil Service Tribunal is itself vitiated by a lack of jurisdiction, an infringement of Articles 257 TFEU and 281 TFEU, an infringement of Annex I to Protocol No 3 to the Statute of the Court of Justice, an infringement of Article 13(2) TEU and an infringement of Council Decision 2005/150/EC of 18 January 2005 concerning the conditions and arrangements governing the submission and processing of applications for appointment as a judge of the European Union Civil Service Tribunal.
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Second ground of appeal, alleging infringement of the review, by the first judge, of the manifest error of assessment, infringement of the obligation to state reasons placed on the defendant, infringement of the obligation to state reasons on the first judge, distortion of the file and infringement of the Guide to Staff Reports.
            
         
               3.
            
            
               Third ground of appeal, alleging infringement of the duty of care and a distortion of the file.
