         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The applicant, a member of the temporary staff of OLAF up to 30 April 2005, seeks to recover compensation in respect of the damage which he claims to have suffered as a result of a series of unlawful acts allegedly committed by the Commission in connection with the extension of his contract. Those unlawful acts ostensibly concern in particular: (i) breach of the applicable legal rules and of the case-law relating to employment in the public service; (ii) infringement of the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations; (iii) infringement of the principles of equal treatment and non-discrimination.
