      Form of order sought by the appellant
   
   The appellant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               set aside the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal of 2 March 2016 in Case F-3/15, Frieberger and Vallin v Commission, in so far as the Civil Service Tribunal held the fourth plea in law to be well founded;
            
         
               —
            
            
               as regards the proceedings at first instance, in so far as the Civil Service Tribunal took the view that the state of proceedings permitted it to give final judgment, dismiss the action as unfounded and order the appellants to pay the costs;
            
         
               —
            
            
               as regards the appeal proceedings, order the parties to bear their own costs relating to those proceedings.
