Court of Justice 14 January 1982, 167/80 (Vincent Grogan v Commission of the European Communities.)

Also known as

The opinion of Mr. Advocate General Capotorti addresses three cases involving former Community officials challenging the applicability of Council Regulations (EEC) Nos 3085/78 and 3086/78, which resulted in significant reductions to their pensions. The applicants argue that these regulations infringe upon essential procedural requirements and various principles of Community law, including the inviolability of vested rights and the principle of equality. Ultimately, the Advocate General proposes that the Court dismiss the applications, asserting that the regulations were lawfully adopted and necessary for maintaining equitable treatment among officials.AI
