Pleas in law and main arguments
By the present appeal, the appellants seek to have set aside the Order to the European Union Civil Service Tribunal (EUCST) of 13 July 2010, delivered in case F-103/09 Allen and Others v Commission, by which the EUCST dismissed as inadmissible the action by which the appellants have sought damages and the annulment of a decision refusing to pay damages in respect of the loss suffered by each applicant as a result of the fact that they were not recruited as temporary servants of the Communities during the time they worked at the Joint European Torus (JET) Joint Undertaking.
In support of their appeal, the appellants submit that by concluding that an obligation to act within a reasonable period applied in the present context and, even if it did, by its approach to the duration and start point of that period, the EUCST acted contrary to the case law of the Court of Justice and to fundamental principles of European Union law.
