Private security operator loses required good repute

ATA/519/1996Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberSep 24, 1996

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The case concerns the LPASP requirement of honorability for an operator of a private security agency. The résumé states that a person who runs such an agency no longer satisfies that requirement when he or she is also a follower of a sect whose doctrines entail death and destruction. The decisive point is the incompatibility between that affiliation and the trust expected from a private security operator.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 3 al. 1 let. d LPASP; honorability requirement for operators of private security agencies. An operator no longer fulfils the statutory requirement of good repute where personal affiliation with a sect is established whose doctrines are objectively incompatible with the trust, reliability and integrity demanded by the activity. The assessment turns on whether the conduct or association undermines the confidence necessary for the exercise of the regulated profession; doctrinal adherence may suffice if it reveals a lack of the qualities protected by the licensing regime.
