Question juridique clé
Whether the applicant was exempt from military service tax under Art. 4(1)(b) LTEO because military service had harmed his health.
Solution extraite
Exemption was not established because the causal link between military service and the worsening of the knee condition was not proven or made sufficiently plausible.
Motifs extraits
The medical certificate described a progressive worsening but did not connect it to the completed service periods. The military doctor's opinion stated that the condition had not been aggravated by service, even temporarily. The cantonal court's factual finding on causation was not shown to be manifestly incorrect.
