A hotelier was fined CHF 200 after entering incorrect information in the police register by copying an older arrival slip for the same guest without checking the data. The court held that this modest sanction was proportionate and left the fine unchanged.

Massima Omnilex

LRDBH 56 and 57; police register obligations and proportionality of a minor fine for negligent omission or incorrect entry. A hotelier who reproduces an earlier arrival slip in the police register without verifying the data breaches the duty of accuracy. Where the fault consists in a simple lack of control and the sanction is limited to CHF 200, the fine is not disproportionate and falls within the authority’s wide margin of appreciation in assessing minor regulatory violations.
