One-year domicile requirement for maintenance advance aid

ATA/95/1997Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberFeb 4, 1997Dismissed

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The case concerns a request for maintenance advance aid under LARPA. The applicant had not been domiciled in the canton for the required one-year period. The court held that this domicile requirement is a mandatory condition of entitlement and therefore confirmed the refusal of the advance.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 8 al. 1 LARPA; domicile requirement for maintenance advance aid: entitlement presupposes that the claimant has been domiciled in the canton for at least one year. Where this condition is not met, the request is inadmissible on the merits and must be rejected; no discretionary balancing can override the statutory threshold.

Key legal questions extracted by Omnilex

Key legal question

Whether a beneficiary domiciled in the canton for less than one year may claim a maintenance advance under Art. 8(1) LARPA.

Extracted holding

No. The one-year domicile requirement is a condition for entitlement, so the applicant cannot demand the advance before meeting it.

Extracted reasoning

The court applied Art. 8(1) LARPA and treated the domicile period as a mandatory eligibility threshold for aid.
