Judgment_paragraph 28 · European Parliament v Mireille Meskens (C-412/92 P)

28The Court went on to state that ‘where compliance with a judgment annulling a measure presents particular difficulties, the defendant may satisfy the obligation arising from Article 176 of the Treaty by taking “such decision as will provide due compensation for the damage which [the person concerned] has suffered as a result of the decision which has been annulled” (see the judgment of the Court of Justice in Case 76/79 Könecke v Commission, cited above, at p. 679; see also the judgment of the Court of Justice in Case 144/82 Detti v Court of Justice, cited above). In that context, the appointing authority could also have established a dialogue with the applicant in order to attempt to reach agreement offering her fair compensation for the unlawfulness of which she had been the victim’ (paragraph 80).
