ATA/120/1996 ΓÇó Monetary claim inadmissible after probationary dismissal
ATA/120/1996Cour de justice / Chambre administrative5 mars 1996Inadmissible
A public employee dismissed during the probationary period sought financial and moral compensation. The court held that such compensation was only an indirect or subsidiary consequence of a different principal claim and could not, on its own, make a monetary action admissible. The action was therefore inadmissible.
LTA.11; action in pecuniary matters; public employee dismissed during probationary period; damages and moral compensation claimed as a consequence of dismissal are not an autonomous principal claim when they are merely indirect or subsidiary to another relief. Admissibility of the action requires that the monetary claim itself constitute the subject-matter of the proceedings; a subsidiary compensation demand cannot found jurisdiction or admissibility. The court thus refuses entry where the claimant seeks only consequential harm flowing from the contested employment termination.

Résumé
Licenciement d'un employé en période probatoire. La demande de réparation du préjudice financier et moral consécutif à un licenciement ne saurait fonder la recevabilité d'une action dès lors qu'il s'agit d'une conséquence indirecte ou subsidiaire d'une réclamation principale d'une autre espèce.
