Question juridique clé
Whether the revocation of the acquisition authorization was justified because the chalet exceeded the permitted surface for a vacation home.
Solution extraite
Yes. A vacation home of about 220 m2 clearly exceeded the normal 100 m2 limit and could not be justified by the claimed family needs.
Motifs extraits
Art. 12 b LFAIE and Art. 10 para. 2 OAIE allow only exceptional departures from the 100 m2 benchmark. The claimed needs of the acquirer, spouse, four children, and two nurses did not justify such a large excess.
