ATA/636/1995Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberNov 14, 1995Dismissed

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The claimant brought a payment claim in a dispute connected with social insurance/professional pension and public employment. The court held that he had not proven any specific agreement with the CE supporting his demand. It also found that he wrongly relied on the 14 June 1982 convention between the CIA and the State of Geneva, without showing that it applied to his situation. The claim was therefore rejected.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 8 A LTA; in a claim for payment, the claimant bears the burden of demonstrating the factual and legal basis of the alleged entitlement. Where no specific agreement with the defendant is proven, and the invoked collective or institutional convention is not shown to govern the relationship in dispute, the claim must be rejected.
