ATA/267/1996•Postgraduate university degree not covered by automatic study grant
ATA/267/1996Cour de justice / Verwaltungskammer14.05.1996Dismissed
Von Omnilex extrahiert
The appellant challenged the refusal of study support for a postgraduate diploma at the University of Geneva. The court held that the automatic allowance under Art. 38(1)(b) LEE applies only to basic training and therefore does not cover the postgraduate program at issue. It further held that the commission did not abuse or exceed its discretion in refusing a loan under Art. 28(a) LEE. The appeal was dismissed and the commission's decision confirmed.
Art. 38 al. 1 let. b LEE; art. 28 let. a LEE: the automatic study allowance is limited to basic training and does not extend to postgraduate university studies. Refusal of a loan is upheld where the competent commission has not exceeded or abused its discretion in applying the statutory criteria (consid. 1-2).

Résumé
La formation donnant à l'allocation automatique de l'art. 38 al. 1 litt. b LEE ne vise que la formation de base et par conséquent pas la poursuite d'un diplôme d'études supérieures (DEJ) à l'université de Genève. Par ailleurs, la commission n'a pas excédé son pouvoir d'appréciation en refusant au recourant un prêt sur la base de l'art. 28 litt. a LEE.
Whether a postgraduate degree at the University of Geneva qualifies as a basic training program granting an automatic allowance under Art. 38(1)(b) LEE.
No. The provision covers only basic training, not the pursuit of a higher-level degree.
The court accepted that the relevant study path was not basic education but continued higher studies, so the statutory condition for automatic entitlement was not met.
Whether the commission exceeded its discretion by refusing a loan under Art. 28(a) LEE.
No. The refusal stayed within the commission's discretionary power.
The court found no abuse or excess of discretion in the loan decision and therefore upheld the commission's assessment.
