29As regards the second part of that ground of appeal, alleging the breach, by the General Court, of the principle of good faith, it must be noted that, according to the case-law of the Court of Justice, to allow a party to put forward for the first time before the Court of Justice a plea in law which it did not raise before the General Court would in effect allow that party to bring before the Court of Justice a wider case than that heard by the General Court. In an appeal, the Court’s jurisdiction is, as a general rule, confined to a review of the assessment by the General Court of the pleas argued before it. However, an argument which was not raised at first instance does not constitute a new plea that is inadmissible at the appeal stage if it is simply an amplification of an argument already developed in the context of a plea set out in the application before the General Court (judgment of 28 July 2016 in Tomana and Others v Council and Commission, C‑330/15 P, not published, EU:C:2016:601, paragraphs 33 and the case-law cited).
