Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant was entitled to remission of the housing-related surcharge/prestation under RLGL art. 9(2) and 11.
Decisão extraída
No. A remission is reserved for social hardship cases, and hardship caused by a voluntary investment in a vacation chalet does not qualify.
Fundamentação extraída
The court treated the appellant's financial difficulties as self-created through the purchase of a holiday chalet financed partly with own funds, so the statutory purpose of remission was not met.
