Jean Moreau v Commission of the EAEC (C-15/64, C-60/65)

Costs

Under Article 69 (2) of the Rules of Procedure the unsuccessful party shall be ordered to pay the costs. However, under Article 70 of the Rules of Procedure institutions shall bear their own costs in actions by officials of the Communities.In Case 15/64 the defendant admitted during the course of the proceedings the applicant's claim to be assigned Grade A 3.The defendant has therefore admitted by implication the main submission in the application.On the other hand during the oral procedure the applicant withdrew his claim for compensation for non-material damage.In these circumstances the defendant must bear the costs of the action up to notification of the decision of the Commission of 13 January 1965.On the other hand the applicant must bear any costs incurred by him relating to the period after the date of that notification.As in Case 60/65 the applicant failed in all his submissions he must therefore bear his own costs.
