Judgment_paragraph 47 · Gérard Buono and Others v European Commission (C-12/13 P, C-13/13 P)

47It is settled case-law that, in the context of an appeal, where one of the grounds adopted by the General Court is sufficient to sustain the operative part of its judgment, any defects that might vitiate other grounds of the judgment concerned cannot influence that operative part and, accordingly, a plea relying on such defects is ineffective and must be dismissed (judgment in Commission v CAS Succhi di Frutta, C‑496/99 P, EU:C:2004:236, paragraph 68).
