Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court’s factual findings on commission solicitation were arbitrary and violated the presumption of innocence.
Solution extraite
The evidence assessment was not arbitrary; the witnesses and inquiry report supported the finding that the appellant had sought a commission, and the presumption of innocence did not alter the outcome in this administrative case.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court found the testimony broadly consistent and held that the cantonal court stayed within its wide discretion in weighing direct and indirect evidence. It also held that the presumption of innocence did not apply as in criminal proceedings and was in any event not violated on the established facts.
