Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The appellant challenged the withdrawal of diplomatic plates. The court held that, because he had ceased to perform functions for the Permanent Mission of Lithuania, the SAN was required to withdraw the diplomatic plates. The appeal was therefore dismissed.

Omnilex-Regeste

OAC 71; diplomatic license plates are tied to the holder’s diplomatic functions. Where the person concerned ceases to serve the foreign mission, the administrative authority must withdraw the diplomatic plates, as the factual and legal basis for the privilege no longer exists.

Kernrechtsfrage

Whether diplomatic plates had to be withdrawn after the appellant ceased diplomatic functions

Extrahierter Entscheid

Yes. Once the appellant no longer performed functions for the Permanent Mission of Lithuania, the SAN had to withdraw the diplomatic plates.

Extrahierte Begründung

The entitlement to diplomatic plates depended on the holder's diplomatic status or functions; after those functions ended, the basis for keeping the plates no longer existed.
