Here’s the court document which states clearly what John Dalli is demanding and why he has sued

Published: July 9, 2014 at 1:36am

I quote directly from it. The ‘applicant’ is Dalli.

———-

The applicant claims that the Court should:

Annul the oral decision of 16 October 2012 of his termination of office with immediate effect, taken by the President of the European Commission;

Order the defendant to pay compensation of both the moral and material prejudice; and

Order the defendant to bear the entire costs.

    Have you noticed how Joseph Muscat rushed the continental shelf bill through parliament just days before his visit to China to sign that agreement?

  3. Dalli, stop this political hara-kiri.

    Money, Money, Money and Money

  5. Vagabond King says:

    Where does it say that Dalli is using for a nominal €1 and legal expenses? Or was this another ruse by Dalli?

    From Svizzera fil-Mediterran to “Mediterranean China”.

    When John Dalli was appointed EU commissioner in his briefing note (CV) he claimed that between 1970 – 1995 he was employed as a lawyer at World Bank in Washington DC.

    He therefore must know better than most the rule of law. He must also know that his pleas are in line with the rule of law. It is mind-boggling why he needed a team of lawyers to represent him in these proceedings.

    Well, everyone knows that his briefing note (CV) is a lie. It was impossible for him to be employed as a lawyer at the World Bank, mainly because he never qualified as a lawyer and he was involved in other positions in Malta.

    Furthermore, the same document confirms that during the same period he was employed by Blue Bell, he was self-employed and he was also in politics:

    1972 – 1977 Financial Controller Blue Bell (Malta) Ltd.,
    1977 – 1979 Manager of IT Development Project with Blue Bell Europe
    1981 – 1986 Management Consultant
    1987 – 1988 Parliamentary Secretary for Industry
    1989 – 1991 Minister for Economy
    1992 – 1996 Minister of Finance

    It is more than evident that John Dalli has been living a lie. The possibility is, as usual, that he has been lying during these proceedings.

    Strange – No mention of a symbolic one euro here or was that bollocks not symbolic?

    According to this report Dalli is seeking 1.9m Euros in lost earnings.

    ‘..One of the proposals being encouraged by the Maltese government is that the project would be self-financing and no monies would be forked out by the tax-payer…’

    That’s not really ‘one of the proposals’ is it, more like a constraint. And what a constraint.

    Perhaps readers would like to check this. Gives a picture of why China does these benevolent projects around the globe.

    I think we have a serious issue with Muscat’s mental capabilities for discernment, too easily taken in.

    What China’s after is clear; maintain its existing economic system based on exploitation of cheap labour, if it means exporting its labourers instead of having to risk acceding to their democratic aspirations and giving them decent pay, so be it.

    Given that the system doesn’t cater for the creation of a significant internal market, except for the million or so multi-millionaires, this bridge becomes essential for the communist regime’s feasibility.

    Because that is what this study shall be, nothing else.

    Question left to ask is, why won’t Muscat divulge any detail of what we’ll owe?

    I sincerely hope the PN stops playing this kind of ball and works to rid us of this material compromise. Otherwise it will be a vicious spiral to the very bottom.

    Ironic really, a globalised economy envisioned, with much fanfare, capable of democratising places like China and the tables are turned using those same mechanics of free market economics; cheaper and faster get to mean better.
