ACOM/41/1998•Professor lacks standing to challenge secretary transfer
ACOM/41/1998Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberApr 7, 1998Inadmissible
Extracted by Omnilex
A university professor sought to contest the transfer of his secretary to another department. The court held that he had no legally protected interest in the measure and therefore could not appeal. It further held that he could not invoke Article 12 LPAC, since that provision was not intended to protect him. The challenge was therefore inadmissible.
Art. 12 LPAC; standing and protective purpose of the norm: a person may challenge an administrative measure only if he or she is affected in a legally protected interest. Where a professor attacks the transfer of a secretary to another department, the professor lacks standing if the measure does not directly infringe a protected position of his own. A norm may be invoked only by persons whose interests fall within its protective scope; a provision not enacted to protect the appellant cannot serve as a basis for recourse (consid. implied).

Résumé
Un professeur d'université ne saurait recourir contre le déplacement de sa secrétaire dans un autre département, à défaut d'intérêt digne de protection. En particulier, il ne saurait tirer avantage d'une prétendue violation de l'art. 12 LPAC, alors que cette disposition n'a pas pour but de la protéger.

Whether the professor has a legally protected interest to challenge the secretary's transfer
The professor lacks standing because the transfer does not affect a protected legal interest of his own.
He cannot derive an appealable interest from the transfer of another employee when the measure does not directly protect him.
Whether the professor may rely on an alleged violation of Article 12 LPAC
He cannot rely on Article 12 LPAC because that provision is not intended to protect his interests.
A person may invoke only norms whose protective purpose covers the interest asserted; Article 12 LPAC does not serve to protect the professor in this situation.
