31It follows from Article 21 of the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union, applicable to the General Court in accordance with Article 53 of that statute, and Article 76 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court that an application must state clearly and precisely the subject-matter of the proceedings, the heads of claim and a summary of the pleas in law on which the application is based, so as to enable the defendant to prepare a defence and the Court to rule on the application. It follows therefrom that the heads of claim must be set out unambiguously so that the court does not rule ultra petita or indeed fail to rule on a complaint (see, to that effect, judgments of 14 December 1962, Meroni v High Authority, 46/59 and 47/59, EU:C:1962:44, p. 801; of 10 May 2012, Commission v Estonia, C‑39/10, EU:C:2012:282, paragraph 24, and order of 13 April 2011, Planet v Commission, T‑320/09, EU:T:2011:172, paragraph 22).
