Key legal question
Whether the municipality or the canton must bear the social assistance costs for the family after revocation of refugee status and asylum.
Extracted holding
Under the Valais rules, the family did not fall within the canton-financed asylum categories; social assistance remained with the commune of domicile/sejour.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court upheld the cantonal interpretation as non-arbitrary. The ordinance's wording did not include persons whose refugee status and asylum were revoked, and not all illegally staying persons are covered by it. A literal reading did not defeat the purpose of the provision.
