Résumé

An insured person became ill while on holiday in Spain and claimed daily allowances. The benefit was refused, and the refusal was upheld on the basis that the territoriality principle precluded payment abroad under Art. 12 LAMA.

Regest

LAMA art. 12; territoriality principle and daily allowances abroad: sickness occurring while the insured is staying abroad does not, absent a statutory exception, give rise to entitlement to daily allowances. The place of stay may be decisive for coverage where the scheme is territorially limited; holidays abroad do not in themselves suspend the territorial requirement. Refusal of benefits is therefore upheld when the claim falls outside the territorial scope of the insurance coverage.
