Form of order sought
The appellant claims that the Court should:
|
— |
set aside the judgment of the General Court in Case T-291/04 as regards the Appellant's claim for damages; and |
|
— |
declare the Respondent liable for damages suffered by the Appellant; or |
|
— |
alternatively, refer the case back to the General Court to rule on the Appellant's claim for damages; and |
|
— |
order the Respondent to pay all the costs of these proceedings (including the costs before the General Court). |
Pleas in law and main arguments
The Appellant submits that, in dismissing its application for damages on the grounds that the Appellant had failed to establish the existence of unlawful action on the part of the Commission, the General Court breached European Union law. In particular, the Appellant contends that the General Court committed an error in its interpretation of the Judgment of the Court in Case C-425/08 and, as a consequence, it made an error in law in failing to assess the third part of the Appellant's first plea of illegality in relation to ‘normal handling or use’ and concluding that the application for damages should be dismissed.
For these reasons the Appellant claims that the judgment of the General Court in Case T-291/04 should be set aside as regards the Appellant's claim for damages and the Respondent should be declared liable for damages suffered by the Appellant.
