Mugabe ally loses EU sanctions compensation case

97      Accordingly, the fourth applicant, which, as stated in paragraph 20 above, was not included on the lists in question, cannot claim to have suffered loss as a result of the unlawfulness of the decision to include the first three applicants and Breco International on those lists.

98      In view of the cumulative nature of the conditions for incurring the non-contractual liability of the European Union (see paragraph 17 above), the action must be dismissed, without there being any need to rule on the admissibility of the document referring to the various forms of loss allegedly suffered by the applicants, which was submitted after the closure of the written procedure.

 Costs

99      Under Article 134(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court, the unsuccessful party is to be ordered to pay the costs if they have been applied for in the successful party’s pleadings.

100    Since the applicants have been unsuccessful, they must be ordered to pay the costs, as applied for by the Council and the Commission.

On those grounds,

THE GENERAL COURT (Eighth Chamber)

hereby:

1.      Dismisses the action;

2.      Orders John Arnold Bredenkamp, Echo Delta (Holdings) PCC Ltd, Scottlee Holdings (Private) Ltd and Fodya (Private) Ltd to pay the costs of the Council of the European Union and the European Commission.
