Judgment_paragraph 63 · JCDecaux Street Furniture Belgium v European Commission (C-710/22 P)

63In addition to the case-law referred to in paragraph 28 above, it is appropriate to clarify that the appraisal of the facts and the assessment of the evidence do not, save where the facts and evidence are distorted, constitute a point of law which is subject, as such, to review by the Court of Justice on appeal and that there is such distortion where, without recourse to new evidence, the assessment of the existing evidence is clearly incorrect. However, such distortion must be obvious from the documents on the Court’s file, without there being any need to carry out a new assessment of the facts and the evidence. Moreover, where an appellant alleges distortion of the evidence by the General Court, he or she must indicate precisely the evidence alleged to have been distorted by that court and show the errors of appraisal which, in his or her view, led to that distortion (judgment of 23 March 2023, PV v Commission, C‑640/20 P, EU:C:2023:232, paragraphs 77 and 78 and the case-law cited). There will be distortion where, in particular, the General Court has manifestly exceeded the limits of a reasonable assessment of the evidence (judgment of 2 October 2014, Strack v Commission, C‑127/13 P, EU:C:2014:2250, paragraph 79).
