Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal authorities arbitrarily applied the cost-allocation rule for parental contributions to residential care.
Solution extraite
The appeal failed because, given the involvement and cooperation of both municipalities and the appellant's own commitment, it was not arbitrary to require reimbursement to Rudolfstetten-Friedlisberg.
Motifs extraits
Although the rule generally assigns collection to the child's municipality of residence, the Court found that Rudolfstetten-Friedlisberg and Berikon were both involved, that Rudolfstetten-Friedlisberg had sought the placement and promised cost coverage, and that it had actually advanced the parental contributions. The appellant's reliance on Berikon's formal entitlement was held abusive.
