No current interest to seek a principle ruling on insurance policy

ATA/509/1997Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberAug 26, 1997Dismissed

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

An insured person in a social-insurance dispute sought appellate review in order to obtain a principle ruling concerning her insurance policy. The court held that such an abstract interest does not satisfy the requirement of a current legal interest to appeal. The appeal was therefore dismissed as inadmissible in substance.

Omnilex headnote

LPA 60; intérêt actuel pour recourir: l’assuré n’a pas qualité pour recourir lorsqu’il ne poursuit que l’obtention d’un arrêt de principe sur sa police d’assurance. L’exigence d’un intérêt actuel concret et pratique s’oppose à un recours tendant à une simple clarification abstraite de la situation juridique.
