ATA/512/1998•Standing to appeal against legal-entity requirement for subsidized residences
ATA/512/1998Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberSep 1, 1998Dismissed
Extracted by Omnilex
DASS required residences dependent on the CEH foundation to organize themselves as a legal entity in order to continue operating under the subsidy regime. The foundation appealed. The court held that the foundation had standing because it was the entity responsible for taking the necessary steps to create the residences' legal personality and was therefore directly affected by the decision. On the merits, the court confirmed the DASS decision.
LEMS.20 al.1 litt.a; subsidy conditions and standing to appeal where the addressee of the measure is a dependent unit without legal personality: an entity is directly affected and entitled to appeal when the contested decision imposes on it the concrete duty to implement the measure, even if formally addressed to another component of the organizational structure. The requirement that subsidized residences be constituted as a legal entity may be upheld where the competent authority relies on the applicable subsidy framework; the appeal is admissible for the foundation charged with carrying out the necessary organizational steps.
