ATA/167/1996Cour de justice / Chambre administrative26 mars 1996
Extrait par Omnilex
The court accepted the CNA's assessment of the appellant's post-accident earning capacity at CHF 3,400, despite its being based on a summary economic survey. It further allowed a 15% deduction for possible reduced performance. Comparing the resulting income with the without-accident income of CHF 5,235 led to an invalidity rate of 45% under Art. 18 LAA.
Art. 18 LAA; determination of invalidity degree and assessment of residual earning capacity: a post-accident earning capacity established by a summary economic survey may be relied upon if it appears plausible. Where the evidence shows that performance may not be fully effective, a reasonable reduction may be applied. The invalidity degree is then calculated by comparing the adjusted residual earning capacity with the hypothetical income without accident; in casu this yielded 45% (consid. not stated).

Résumé
Le revenu réalisable par le recourant retenu par la CNA, soit Frs 3'400.--, doit être admis, bien qu'il repose sur une enquête économique sommaire. Il faut encore admettre que le rendement du recourant pourrait ne pas être total et en conséquence retrancher une marge de 15% sur le montant de Frs 3'400,--. En référence au revenu mensuel que le recourant aurait pu réaliser sans l'accident, soit Frs. 5'235,.-, le taux d'invalidité est de 45 %.

Whether the CNA could rely on a post-accident earning capacity of CHF 3,400 based on a summary economic survey.
Yes. The earning capacity fixed by the CNA was accepted, although it rested on a summary economic investigation.
The court found the amount sufficiently plausible and accepted that a reduced performance level could justify a further deduction.
What invalidity rate follows after applying a 15% deduction and comparing with the without-accident income.
The invalidity rate amounts to 45%.
From the accepted post-accident earning capacity of CHF 3,400, a further 15% deduction was warranted; compared with the without-accident income of CHF 5,235, this yields an invalidity of 45%.
