Omnilex summary

The creditor of maintenance payments appealed against recovery measures carried out by SCARPA. The administrative court found that it had no jurisdiction to examine the appeal and therefore did not reach the merits.

Omnilex headnote

LARPA.13; compétence du tribunal administratif en matière de recouvrement des pensions alimentaires; le créancier de pensions alimentaires qui conteste des mesures de recouvrement prises par le SCARPA ne dispose pas d’une voie de droit recevable devant le TA, l’absence de compétence constituant une condition de recevabilité. Le litige doit dès lors être écarté sans examen au fond.
