               Annul the decision of 19 August 2016 dismissing the applicant at the end of his probation period, namely 1 September 2016;
            
         
               —
            
            
               Annul the decision of the Appointing Authority of 11 April 2017 rejecting the applicant’s claim of 4 November 2016;

               Order the defendant to pay all the costs.
            
         
      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   In support of the action, the applicant relies on five pleas in law.
   
               1.
            
            
               First plea in law, alleging infringement of the obligation to state reasons.
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Second plea in law, alleging that the contested decision is unlawful, in that it confirms the conclusion of the opinion of the Reports Committee (CORAP), which substituted its own evaluation for that of the reporting officers.
            
         
               3.
            
            
               Third plea in law, alleging manifest errors of fact and law vitiating the grounds on which the probation report is based.
            
         
               4.
            
            
               Fourth plea in law, alleging a lack of normal probation conditions.
            
         
               5.
            
            
               Fifth plea in law, alleging infringement of the duty of care and the principle of sound administration.
            
         The applicant is of the opinion, moreover, that the illegalities set out in the pleas for annulment are all failings imputable to the defendant. The applicant is therefore also seeking compensation for the non-pecuniary harm allegedly caused by the contested decisions.
