         Action brought on 15 June 2005 by Trevor Hutchings against the Commission of the European Communities
   (Case T-232/05)
   (2005/C 229/54)
   Language of the case: French
   An action against the Commission of the European Communities was brought before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on 15 June 2005 by Trevor Hutchings, residing in Brussels, represented by Sébastien Orlandi, Xavier Martin Membiela, Albert Coolen and Etienne Marchal, lawyers, with an address for service in Luxembourg.
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               1.
            
            
               annul the Commission's decision fixing the applicant's classification in Grade B*4/Step 1;
            
         
               2.
            
            
               order the Commission to pay the costs.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The applicant contests the Commission's decision to recruit him at Grade B*4 instead of B3 (B*7) as stated in the Commission's initial offer of recruitment. He relies on infringement of pacta sunt servanda, the Commission having unilaterally altered an essential component of his contract of employment.
   The applicant also claims infringement of the principles of equal treatment, non-discrimination, and the protection of legitimate expectations, and an infringement of the call for applications.
