Judgment_paragraph 108 · European Commission v Czech Republic (C-545/10)

108In that regard, it should be borne in mind that it follows from Article 120(c) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice and from the case-law relating to that provision that the application initiating proceedings must state the subject matter of the dispute and a summary of the pleas in law, and that that statement must be sufficiently clear and precise to enable the defendant to prepare its defence and the Court to rule on the application. It is therefore necessary for the essential points of fact and of law on which a case is based to be indicated coherently and intelligibly in the application itself and for the form of order sought to be set out unambiguously so that the Court does not rule ultra petita or indeed fail to rule on a complaint (see, inter alia, Case C-165/08 Commission v Poland [2009] ECR I-6843, paragraph 42, and Case C-343/08 Commission v Czech Republic [2010] ECR I-275, paragraph 26).
