Question juridique clé
Whether Art. 3 no. 1 AVB excluded coverage for a dependency-related incapacity despite abstinence during the period in dispute.
Solution extraite
No. A dependency disorder is not outside coverage where the insured has abstained and remains medically and occupationally impaired; the clause does not bar benefits merely because abstinence was theoretically possible.
Motifs extraits
The clause could not, under trust interpretation, be read as excluding all addiction cases in which abstinence would be reasonable. Since the insured complied with the duty to mitigate damage by abstaining, but incapacity persisted, the exclusion did not apply.
