ATA/346/1996Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberJun 21, 1996Dismissed
Extracted by Omnilex
The appellant challenged the refusal of LEE study benefits for attendance at the engineering school in Yverdon, telecommunications section. The court found that this school leads to a diploma equivalent to that of the Geneva engineering school. As a result, the appellant had no entitlement to LEE benefits and also failed to show any special circumstances under Art. 6 para. 1 let. e LEE that could justify an exception. The appeal was dismissed.
LEE, art. 6 al. 1 let. e; study benefits are not owed where the chosen school leads to a diploma equivalent to that of another recognized engineering school. Equivalence of diplomas excludes entitlement to support, unless the claimant demonstrates particular circumstances justifying an exception under the statute. The burden lies on the claimant to establish such exceptional circumstances; absent proof, the refusal of benefits stands.

Résumé
L'Ecole d'ingénieurs d'Yverdon, section télécommunications, conduit à l'obtention d'un diplôme équivalent à celui de l'école d'ingénieurs de Genève. Le recourant n'a donc pas droit aux prestations de la LEE, ce d'autant qu'il ne peut invoquer des circonstances particulières qui lui permettraient de bénéficier de telles prestations (art. 6 al. 1 litt. e LEE).
Whether training at the Yverdon engineering school entitles the appellant to LEE study benefits.
No. Because the Yverdon engineering school leads to a diploma equivalent to that of the Geneva engineering school, the appellant cannot claim LEE benefits.
The equivalence of the diplomas excludes entitlement to the sought benefits under the LEE.
Whether the appellant can rely on special circumstances under Art. 6 para. 1 let. e LEE to obtain benefits anyway.
No. The appellant did not establish any particular circumstances that would justify an exception.
Absent special circumstances within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 let. e LEE, no benefits may be granted.
