Question juridique clé
Whether the Federal Office for Refugees had to enter into the reconsideration request against the final cost assessment
Solution extraite
No. Reconsideration is required only where new facts or evidence could not reasonably have been raised earlier; language difficulties and late legal consultation did not justify reopening.
Motifs extraits
The court applied the strict rules on reconsideration by analogy to revision grounds. The appellant could have sought advice and appealed in time; he also waited months after realizing the issue.
