Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court wrongly applied federal social insurance cost rules instead of cantonal administrative procedure law when refusing compensation costs.
Solution extraite
The cantonal court did not err: the dispute concerned a cantonal family allowances regime, so the federal coordination rules of the LPGA did not govern costs; the principle of no compensation for successful public bodies remained applicable.
Motifs extraits
The underlying liability claim arose under cantonal family allowances law, not federal social insurance law. The reference to the LPGA was therefore misplaced, but the result accorded with the general rule under cantonal law that public bodies performing public tasks do not usually receive compensation costs when they prevail.
