Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The court dealt with a construction-law fine imposed on SI. It found no reason to cancel the sanction altogether, but it reduced the penalty from CHF 20,000 to CHF 5,000 because of exceptional circumstances relating to the administrator's personal situation and his difficulty in understanding the DTPE's requirements.

Omnilex-Regeste

LCI art. 137; reduction of a construction fine in the presence of exceptional personal circumstances. A fine may be maintained in principle yet reduced when the circumstances show that the sanctioned person, in particular through the conduct or situation of the administrator of a company, had limited capacity to appreciate the applicable construction requirements. The court may take such personal factors into account in the assessment of proportionality and culpability, leading to a substantial mitigation of the monetary penalty (consid. unspecified).
