Omnilex summary

A student appealed a Department of Public Instruction decision concerning a practical hotel internship. The Administrative Court found that it had jurisdiction to review the objection decision. On the merits, it held that the Department's confirmation of the nullity of two internships was not arbitrary, since the employers had regarded the internships as unsatisfactory. The appeal was therefore dismissed.

Omnilex headnote

LOFP.65; competence of the Administrative Court to hear an appeal against an objection decision of the Department of Public Instruction concerning a practical hotel internship; review of arbitrariness in the nullity of internships. The administrative judge may review such decisions when they fall within administrative jurisdiction. A departmental finding that practical training periods are null is not arbitrary where the host employers have credibly assessed the internships as unsatisfactory and the record supports that assessment.
