Omnilex summary

The appellant contested the recovery/restriction of health-insurance subsidies paid unduly and relied on good faith and difficult financial circumstances. The court held that the cumulative requirements for relief were not met and upheld the adverse outcome against the appellant.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 47 LAVS; repayment or restriction of undue social-insurance benefits may be set aside only if the claimant establishes both good faith and a difficult financial situation. These conditions are cumulative; failure to prove either element precludes relief from recovery, as confirmed in consid. unspecified.
