Extracted by Omnilex
A public employee challenged a dismissal based on incapacity and inability to comply with the duties of the function, arguing in particular that the notice was given at an inopportune time. The Tribunal administratif upheld the termination, finding that the substantive grounds for dismissal were met and that the timing of the notice was not inopportune.
LPAC art. 23; licenciement d’un fonctionnaire ou employé public pour incapacité et inaptitude à remplir les devoirs de la fonction; le congé peut être confirmé lorsque l’autorité établit les conditions matérielles de la résiliation. Le grief tiré d’un congé donné en temps inopportun est écarté si les circonstances ne révèlent pas une telle situation. Le contrôle du juge porte sur l’existence des motifs de licenciement et sur l’absence d’abus manifeste, sans substituer sa propre appréciation à celle de l’autorité si la décision repose sur des éléments suffisants.
