113It is also irrelevant that, in the case which gave rise to the judgment of 13 July 2018, Quadri di Cardano v Commission (T‑273/17, EU:T:2018:480), the applicant had previously received the expatriation allowance unlawfully. As the Court held in paragraph 112 of that judgment, in the absence of continuity of the various contracts between the applicant and the EU institutions and bodies, the entitlement to that allowance must be reassessed upon each new entry into service. Thus, the fact that an official or other staff member has previously received the expatriation allowance unlawfully cannot affect the decisions subsequently taken on that allowance in respect of him or her. In those circumstances, the Court fails to see how that fact constitutes an argument that is relevant for the assessment to be carried out by the authority in a separate case.
