Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily applied the duty to investigate by failing to clarify the appellant's financial situation and hardship before confirming salary repayment.
Solution extraite
Yes. Before deciding on any waiver or reduction of repayment under cantonal law, the authorities had to investigate the relevant private interests and financial circumstances at least to a minimum extent.
Motifs extraits
The hardship assessment under Art. 25 PG depended on the appellant's financial and life situation. No evidence was taken on these points, and the mere possibility of filing a waiver request with a budget did not satisfy the ex officio duty to investigate under cantonal procedural law. In the given procedural posture, the appellant's cooperation failure could not justify dispensing entirely with evidence.
