Omnilex summary

A student asked to be placed on a special scholarship regime because his university start was delayed by three weeks due to recruit school. The court held that this military-related delay was not a just cause or extraordinary circumstance under the scholarship rules. The request for a special allowance was therefore rejected.

Omnilex headnote

RLEE.59 al.1, RLEE.11 al.3; special study allowance and just cause: a three-week postponement of the start of university studies due to military service (recruit school) does not constitute an extraordinary circumstance or a valid just cause for entitlement to a special allowance. The mere fact of military duty, without further exceptional elements, is insufficient to derogate from the normal pursuit of studies requirement.

Whether a three-week delay in starting university due to military service constitutes a just cause for a special study allowance.

Extracted holding

A three-week delay caused by military service does not amount to a just cause for entitlement to the special allowance.

Extracted reasoning

The court held that the delay did not qualify as an extraordinary circumstance within the meaning of the applicable scholarship rules, so the statutory conditions for the special allowance were not met.
