Judgment_paragraph 37 · Amer Foz v Council of the European Union (C-524/22 P)

37According to settled case-law, in an appeal, the Court of Justice has no jurisdiction to establish the facts or, in principle, to examine the evidence which the General Court accepted in support of those facts. Provided that the evidence has been properly obtained and the general principles of law and the Rules of Procedure in relation to the burden of proof and the taking of evidence have been observed, it is for the General Court alone to assess the value which should be attached to the evidence produced before it, save where that evidence has been distorted (see, to that effect, judgment of 1 October 2020, Cham Holding v Council, C‑261/19 P, EU:C:2020:781, paragraph 66 and the case-law cited).
