Judgment_paragraph 60 · EURL Le Levant 001 and Others v Commission of the European Communities (T-34/02)

60The applicants maintain that the Rules of Procedure do not provide that the lodging of a document attesting to the authority conferred on a lawyer is a condition of admissibility of the action. The lawyer acting for a party is required only to establish his professional status and is not required to produce a duly executed authority to act, subject to proof, if challenged, that he is so authorised (Case 14/64 Gualco v High Authority [1965] ECR 51 and Case T-139/89 Virgili-Schettini v Parliament [1990] ECR II-535).
