Sintesi Omnilex

The court upheld the immediate dismissal of a municipal employee whose professional qualifications proved manifestly insufficient for the tasks entrusted to him. It held that just cause under LPAC.15 is an objective concept covering unsuitability for the position. Given the breakdown of trust and the seniority of the post within the municipal hierarchy, the commune was not obliged to offer another assignment within its administration.

Massima Omnilex

LPAC art. 15; just cause for immediate dismissal of a public employee; the concept of just cause has an objective meaning and may be based on manifest unsuitability for the duties to be performed. Where the relationship of trust is irreparably broken and the occupied post is high in the municipal hierarchy, proportionality does not require the employer to seek or offer reassignment within the administration.

LPAC.15

Résumé

Confirmation du licenciement avec effet immédiat d'un fonctionnaire dont les qualifications professionnelles se sont révélées manifestement insuffisantes dans l'exécution des tâches qui lui ont été confiées. On ne saurait exiger de la commune qu'elle fournisse au recourant une autre occupation au sein de l'administration municipale, dès lors que le lien de confiance a été rompu et que le poste occupé se trouvait haut placé dans la hiérarchie communale. La notion de justes motifs permettant de licencier un fonctionnaire a un contenu objectif et vise l'inadaptation aux tâches à accomplir.
