Judgment_paragraph 60 · RV v European Commission (T-167/17)

60In any event, even assuming that the abovementioned issue relating to the definition of the scope of Article 42c of the Staff Regulations falls outside the scope of the dispute as defined by the parties, it has already been held that a plea alleging breach of the scope of the law concerns a matter of public policy and that it is for the EU Courts to consider it of their own motion (judgment of 15 July 1994, Browet and Others v Commission, T‑576/93 to T‑582/93, EU:T:1994:93, paragraph 35).
