Omnilex summary

The Tribunal administratif examined a challenge to a Scarpa decision ending a mandate for maintenance advances. It held that it could not review the decision because the beneficiary was not domiciled in Geneva, a condition required for jurisdiction. The court therefore declined to entertain the case.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 13 LARPA; jurisdiction of the Tribunal administratif to review a Scarpa decision terminating a mandate depends on the beneficiary’s domicile in Geneva. Where that domicile requirement is not satisfied, the court lacks competence to enter into the merits and must decline review (consid. not specified).
