Såfremt der indbringes sager for EU-Personaleretten og Førsteinstansretten, som rejser det samme fortolkningsspørgsmål, eller hvori gyldigheden af den samme retsakt anfægtes, kan EU-Personaleretten efter høring af parterne suspendere proceduren, indtil Førsteinstansretten har truffet afgørelse.
Where the Civil Service Tribunal and the Court of First Instance are seised of cases in which the same issue of interpretation is raised or the validity of the same act is called in question, the Civil Service Tribunal, after hearing the parties, may stay the proceedings until the judgment of the Court of First Instance has been delivered.
