Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The authority suspended a restauratrice's capacity certificate for six months and imposed a CHF 3,000 fine after 20 police reports over two months showed that she was not present in her establishment during inspections. The reviewing court held that the sanction matched the authority's practice and that the fine was proportionate. The challenge was therefore rejected and both sanctions were upheld.

Omnilex-Regeste

LRDBH.12; suspension of a capacity certificate and administrative fine for failure of the certified restaurateur to fulfill the required personal operational presence. Repeated police findings over a short period may justify a suspension of the certificate where they show that the holder does not in fact act as the establishment's operator. The amount of the fine is reviewed for proportionality; where the breach is repeated and the factual pattern is clear, a CHF 3,000 fine is not disproportionate and will be upheld (consid. implied by the summary).
