Sintesi Omnilex

The court interpreted Art. 8(1) LEE in light of the preparatory works and held that the term 'respondant' refers only to parents. The interested parties, who had two children placed with them by the General Guardian, could therefore not be treated as respondants and could not base a scholarship claim on that status.

Massima Omnilex

Art. 8 al. 1 LEE; notion de répondant; interprétation selon les travaux préparatoires. Le terme de « répondant » vise exclusivement les parents. Des personnes qui accueillent des enfants placés par le Tuteur général ne peuvent pas se prévaloir de cette qualité, faute d’entrer dans le champ voulu par le législateur (cf. Mémorial 1988, p. 5735).

Questione giuridica chiave

Whether foster carers of two children placed by the General Guardian qualify as 'respondants' under Art. 8(1) LEE.

Decisione estratta

No. The term 'respondant' in Art. 8(1) LEE refers only to parents, so the interested parties could not rely on that status.

Motivazione estratta

The preparatory works, as cited by the court, show that the legislature intended the notion of 'respondant' to cover only parents; therefore persons merely caring for placed children do not fall within it.
