Judgment_paragraph 74 · Adib Mayaleh v Council of the European Union (T-307/12, T-408/13)

74It follows that where an act must be notified in order for the period for bringing proceedings to begin to run, it must in principle be sent to the addressee of the act, and not to the lawyers representing him. According to the case-law, notification to an applicant’s representative amounts to notification to the addressee only where such a form of notification is expressly provided for in the legislation or by agreement between the parties (see, to that effect, order of 8 July 2009 in Case T‑545/08 Thoss v Court of Auditors, not published in the ECR, paragraphs 41 and 42, and judgment of 11 July 2013 in Joined Cases T‑104/07 and T‑339/08 BVGD v Commission, not published in the ECR, paragraph 146).
