Résumé Omnilex

In a dispute concerning a professional restaurant examination, the court distinguished between substantive grading and procedural complaints. It held that, consistently with the CRUNI case law, review of exam assessment is confined to arbitrariness. By contrast, objections relating to the manner in which the exam was conducted or evaluated are procedural in nature and must be reviewed with full cognition.

Regeste Omnilex

RRDBH.21 para. 2; judicial review of professional examination grading and procedure. The court holds, in line with CRUNI, that the reviewing authority's cognition is limited to arbitrariness when controlling the substantive assessment of an examination. By contrast, complaints directed at the conduct of the examination or at the way the evaluation was carried out concern procedural regularity and are subject to full review. The distinction turns on whether the grievance attacks the evaluative judgment itself or the fairness and legality of the examination process.

Résumé

A l'instar de la CRUNI, le pouvoir d'examen du TA est restreint à la question de l'arbitraire lorsqu'il s'agit de contrôler l'appréciation d'examens. En revanche, se rapportent à des questions de procédure, qui doivent être examinées avec plein pouvoir de cognition, les griefs relatifs à la façon dont l'examen ou son évaluation se sont déroulés.
