               —
            
            
               set aside in its entirety the order of the Civil Service Tribunal of the European Union (Second Chamber) of 7 December 2011 in Case F-44/05 RENV;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the defendant, pursuant to the form of order applied for under paragraph 1 of Section A.4 of his written submission of 21 February 2011 in Case F-44/05 RENV, the reasoning being stated in paragraphs 78 to 85 of that written submission, to pay damages to the applicant of at least EUR 2 500 on account of the excessive duration of the proceedings, in accordance with Article 6 ECHR;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the Commission to bear the entire costs of the present appeal proceedings.
            
         
      Grounds of appeal and main arguments
   
   In support of the appeal, the appellant relies on four grounds.
   
               1.
            
            
               First ground, alleging infringement of the right of access to his lawful judge, Article 6(1) of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), Article 47(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (Charter) and Article 4(4) of Annex I to the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union
               The appellant argues in this connection that the case was first assigned to another chamber of the Civil Service Tribunal and that there was no legal basis for the second assignment undertaken thereafter.
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Second ground, alleging infringement of Article 8(2) of Annex I to the Statute of the Court of Justice and Article 73 of the Rules of Procedure of the Civil Service Tribunal
               The appellant argues in this connection that no separate referral order was possible with regard to the form of order he sought in the main proceedings not in the application but only in a later written submission because it was not independent or separable.
            
         
               3.
            
            
               Third ground, alleging infringement of Article 8(2) of Annex I to the Statute of the Court of Justice and Article 73 of the Rules of Procedure of the Civil Service Tribunal
               The appellant also claims that the legal dispute derives from his employment relationship, meaning that according to Article 1 of Annex I to the Statute of the Court of Justice the Civil Service Tribunal has jurisdiction.
            
         
               4.
            
            
               Fourth ground, alleging infringement of Article 6(1) ECHR and Article 47 of the Charter
               The appellant claims finally that by its method of proceeding the Civil Service Tribunal infringed his right to be heard and the principle of adversary proceedings and treated him unfairly.
