No maintenance advances after moving to France

ATA/181/1998Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberMar 31, 1998Dismissed

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The appellant challenged the refusal of maintenance advances under the Geneva scheme. The court held that entitlement under Art. 8 para. 1 LARPA requires domicile in Geneva. Since the appellant was no longer domiciled in Geneva within the meaning of Art. 23 SCC and had moved to France, she no longer satisfied the statutory condition. The appeal was dismissed and the refusal of advances stood.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 8 al. 1 LARPA; requirement of domicile in Geneva for entitlement to maintenance advances. The cantonal scheme ties the right to advances to domicile in Geneva, determined according to Art. 23 SCC. A person whose domicile has shifted to France no longer satisfies the territorial condition and loses entitlement; the authority must refuse or terminate advances once the domicile requirement ceases to be met.

Key legal question

Whether a person who is no longer domiciled in Geneva remains entitled to Scarpa maintenance advances under Art. 8 para. 1 LARPA.

Extracted holding

No. Once the appellant was no longer domiciled in Geneva within the meaning of Art. 23 SCC and was domiciled in France, she no longer met the entitlement requirements.

Extracted reasoning

The court treated Geneva domicile as a condition for receiving the advances. Because the appellant had moved her domicile abroad, the statutory territorial condition was no longer fulfilled.
