21Second, it should be borne in mind that it follows from Article 120(c) of the Rules of Procedure and the relevant case-law that an application must state the subject-matter of the proceedings and a summary of the pleas in law on which the application is based, 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 law and of fact on which a case is based to be indicated coherently and intelligibly in the application itself and for the heads of claim to be set out unambiguously so that the Court does not rule ultra petita or indeed fail to rule on an objection (see, to that effect, judgments in Commission v Czech Republic, C‑343/08, EU:C:2010:14, paragraph 26 and the case-law cited, and Commission v Spain, C‑360/11, EU:C:2013:17, paragraph 26).
