Judgment_paragraph 33 · DK v European External Action Service (C-851/19 P)

33However, provided that an appellant challenges the interpretation or application of EU law by the General Court, the points of law examined at first instance may be discussed again in the course of an appeal. If an appellant could not thus base his or her appeal on pleas in law and arguments already relied on before the General Court, an appeal would be deprived of part of its purpose (judgments of 9 July 2020, Haswani v Council, C‑241/19 P, EU:C:2020:545, paragraph 50, and of 9 December 2020, Groupe Canal + v Commission, C‑132/19 P, EU:C:2020:1007, paragraph 19 and the case-law cited).
