ATA/675/1997•Loss of honorability justifies withdrawal of authorization
ATA/675/1997Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberNov 4, 1997Dismissed
Extracted by Omnilex
The court held that an intermediary agent who caused a serious traffic accident, fled, and then tried to simulate a vehicle theft no longer satisfied the statutory honorability requirement. The appeal against the withdrawal of authorization was therefore dismissed, and the administrative measure was upheld.
Art. 3 lit. d LAI; withdrawal of authorization for lack of honorability: the statutory requirement of honorability must be fulfilled continuously. Serious conduct incompatible with the trust demanded by the activity, in particular causing a grave accident, fleeing the scene, and subsequently attempting to conceal the facts by a false theft narrative, constitutes a clear breach of honorability and justifies withdrawal of the authorization.

Whether the appellant still met the statutory requirement of honorability for maintaining authorization.
No. The conduct showed a serious lack of honorability incompatible with the authorization regime.
Causing a grave accident, fleeing the scene, and then attempting to cover up the incident by alleging theft of the vehicle was gravely dishonorable and undermined the trust required for the activity.
Whether the authorization had to be withdrawn on account of the lack of honorability.
Yes. Once the honorability requirement was no longer met, withdrawal of the authorization was justified.
The statutory condition of honorability is a continuing prerequisite; conduct of this seriousness permits and supports withdrawal.
