Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The case concerned a housing-social surcharge calculation. The appellant argued that her own income alone should be taken into account. The court held that, under Art. 31(1) LGL, the income of the appellant’s son had to be added to hers for purposes of determining the relevant income. The appeal was therefore dismissed.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 31 al. 1 LGL; détermination du revenu déterminant en matière de logement social: le revenu à prendre en considération peut comprendre celui des membres du ménage, en particulier celui d’un enfant vivant dans le foyer, lorsque la norme applicable commande une appréciation globale de la capacité économique du ménage. Le cumul de revenus s’impose pour fixer le revenu déterminant servant au calcul de la surtaxe; l’autorité n’a pas à s’écarter de cette méthode en l’absence d’élément particulier excluant la prise en compte du revenu familial (consid. non indiqués).
