ACOM/15/1998•Reimbursement of university fees under a relaxed financial hardship test
ACOM/15/1998Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberFeb 6, 1998Modified
Extracted by Omnilex
The CRUNI addressed the standard for assessing a student's difficult financial situation when requesting reimbursement of university fees. It held that the assessment must be more lenient than for LEE beneficiaries, because those beneficiaries receive automatic reimbursement of university taxes. The court therefore renounced reliance on LEE barèmes and instead applied the criteria contained in the 1996/1997 directives.
RU.63; reimbursement of university fees; financial hardship assessment. The CRUNI departs from the barèmes used under the LEE when examining applications for reimbursement of university taxes. Since beneficiaries under the LEE are entitled automatically to reimbursement, the financial situation of applicants for reimbursement must be assessed under a more flexible standard. The CRUNI therefore applies the criteria set out in the 1996/1997 directives rather than the LEE scales (consid. unspecified).

Résumé
"En ce qui concerne la situation financière difficile du recourant, la CRUNI renoncera désormais à faire référence aux barèmes appliqués dans le cadre de la LEE, comme l'ont fait les autorités universitaires en application des anciennes directives. Cette autonomie par rapport à la LEE s'impose d'autant plus que les allocataires au sens de la LEE ont droit automatiquement au remboursement des taxes universitaires. Si bien que la situation financière difficile des candidats qui sollicitent le remboursement de leurs taxes doit être appréciée de manière plus souple que celle des allocataires. C'est pourquoi, la CRUNI fera application des critères contenus dans les directives 1996/1997."

How should financial hardship be assessed for reimbursement of university fees?
The assessment should be more flexible and should no longer rely on the LEE barèmes; instead, the 1996/1997 directives apply.
The CRUNI emphasized its autonomy from the LEE framework because LEE beneficiaries receive automatic reimbursement of university taxes, so applicants for reimbursement must be evaluated under a different and less stringent standard.
