Derfor konstaterede Retten i præmis 149 i FIAMM-dommen og i præmis 142 i Fedondommen, at »[d]a ulovligheden af den adfærd, som de sagsøgte institutioner kritiseres for, ikke er godtgjort, er én af de tre kumulative betingelser for at pålægge Fællesskabet ansvar uden for kontraktforhold for dets organers ulovlige adfærd ikke opfyldt«.
In the light of the foregoing, the Court found, in paragraph 149 of the FIAMM judgment and paragraph 142 of the Fedon judgment, that, ‘since it [had] not been proved that the conduct of which the defendant institutions [were] accused was unlawful, one of the three cumulative conditions of noncontractual liability of the Community for unlawful conduct [was] not met’.
