Civil Service Tribunal

Up until its dissolution in 2016, the Civil Service Tribunal dealt with disputes involving the EU civil service. This jurisdiction had previously been exercised by the Court of Justice and then, following its creation in 1989, by the Court of First Instance (now the General Court). The Tribunal, together with the Court of Justice and General Court, made up the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The Tribunal’s competences were taken back over by General Court in 2016.

Under Article 270 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), the Tribunal had jurisdiction to determine disputes between the EU and its employees. These could concern pay, recruitment, promotion, and social security entitlements regarding sickness, old age and family allowances.

The decisions given by the Tribunal could be subject to an appeal, limited to questions of law, to the General Court. The decisions on appeal by the General Court could in turn be re-examined before the Court of Justice, in exceptional circumstances.

The Civil Service Tribunal was composed of seven Judges appointed by the Council for a period of 6 years.
