Questão jurídica principal
Whether emergency aid for food, clothing and hygiene had to be granted in cash rather than in kind to a rejected asylum seeker.
Decisão extraída
No. For a person staying illegally, emergency aid may in principle be provided in kind; the required travel to the distribution point, and the menu offered, did not breach constitutional or Convention rights.
Fundamentação extraída
In-kind aid is generally preferred for persons with illegal stay because it facilitates distribution and use for its purpose and reduces incentives to remain. The travel burden, the meal regime, and the collective-center arrangement stayed within acceptable limits and did not reach the threshold of inhuman or degrading treatment.
