Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of his action, the applicant first claims infringement of the duty to give reasons and of the principle of equal treatment, in that neither the contested decision nor the administration's response to the applicant's complaint has enabled him to understand the mark he was awarded when the written test was marked and still less the value judgment made on his performance.
The applicant pleads, in addition, infringement of the principle of sound administration, inasmuch as the evaluation sheet for his written test is too general and imprecise and the copies of that test paper are not marked in any way.
