Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Social Office of the City of St. Gallen had to enter into the request for emergency aid or could refer the applicant to another municipality.
Decisione estratta
The office could refuse to enter into the request because the applicant had not been allocated to the City of St. Gallen and competence lay with the municipality to which he had been assigned.
Motivazione estratta
Under AsylG and cantonal law, emergency aid for persons with a final removal order is provided at cantonally designated places. In St. Gallen, allocation is made by the competent cantonal migration authority; mere actual presence in St. Gallen does not create a support residence.
