Extrait par Omnilex
The case concerns the dismissal of a public employee during the probationary period. The court indicates that, after the 1987 amendment, the Swiss Code of Obligations no longer applies subsidiarily. Review by the administrative court is limited to public-law and constitutional guarantees, in particular the right to be heard, equal treatment, prohibition of arbitrariness, and proportionality.
LPAC art. 20 para. 3, art. 31; probationary dismissal of a public employee: applicable law and judicial review. Dismissal during the probationary period is governed exclusively by public law; the Swiss Code of Obligations does not apply subsidiarily after the 1987 amendment. Judicial review is confined to compliance with constitutional guarantees, in particular the right to be heard, equal treatment, prohibition of arbitrariness, and proportionality (consid. unspecified).

Résumé
Seuls le droit d'être entendu, le principe de proportionnalité et celui de l'interdiction de l'arbitraire doivent être examinés par le TA dans le cas du licenciement d'un employé en période probatoire. Le Code des Obligations ne s'applique plus à titre supplétif, depuis la novelle de 1987. Le licenciement d'un employé en période probatoire est uniquement soumis au droit public et doit respecter les droits et principes constitutionnels, tels que le droit d'être entendu, l'égalité de traitement, l'interdiction de l'arbitraire et la proportionnalité.

Which legal regime governs the dismissal of a probationary public employee after the 1987 amendment?
The dismissal is governed exclusively by public law; the Swiss Code of Obligations no longer applies subsidiarily after the 1987 amendment.
The court states that, in probationary dismissals, only public-law rules apply and the CO has been excluded as a supplementary source by the legislative amendment.
What judicial review applies to a probationary dismissal of a public employee?
The reviewing court examines only the right to be heard, proportionality, and prohibition of arbitrariness, together with other constitutional guarantees such as equal treatment.
Because the employee is in the probationary period, the dismissal is subject to public law and must comply with constitutional principles rather than ordinary private-law dismissal rules.
