Key legal question
Whether the applicant had a legally constituted and effective domicile in Switzerland under the LFAIE/OAIE and ALCP.
Extracted holding
She did not. Her stays in Switzerland were brief and intermittent, and the objective circumstances did not show a recognizable intention to establish the center of her life in Switzerland.
Extracted reasoning
Domicile under Art. 23 CC requires actual residence and an objectively recognizable intention to settle. Administrative registration and isolated indicators such as school fees or car purchase were insufficient without effective residence.
