Request for deregistration not decisive for domicile proof

ATA/262/1997Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberApr 22, 1997Dismissed

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The court held that the taxpayer’s request to be deleted from the OCP and military department registers could not, on its own, determine whether a domicile existed within the meaning of Art. 23 CC. Domicile had to be established from the relevant factual elements, not from the mere act of seeking deregistration.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 23 CC; domicile and proof; a request for deregistration from administrative registers is not conclusive for establishing or excluding domicile. Domicile is determined by the objective factual center of life, and not by unilateral administrative steps taken by the person concerned. The evidentiary value of a deregistration request is therefore limited and cannot, by itself, prevail over the totality of the circumstances (consid. unspecified).
