Judgment_paragraph 143 · Z v Court of Justice of the European Union (T-88/13 P)

143It should be pointed out, however, that, by the plea alleging lack of competence on the part of the Complaints Committee, relied on by the appellant at first instance, the latter challenged the composition of that committee which had rejected her complaint against the penalty of 10 July 2009. That plea was therefore concerned with the issue of whether the appellant’s complaint had been examined in the context of a lawful procedure which could have resulted in a decision different from that of the penalty of 10 July 2009. Therefore, the appellant had a real and separate interest in seeking the annulment of the decision rejecting the complaint and not only the annulment of the penalty of 10 July 2009.
