Résumé Omnilex

The plaintiff sought a pecuniary remedy under LMEDA after receiving a taxable capital payment rather than a pension. The court held that the administration remained bound by the principle of good faith and could not expect the plaintiff to infer that a 'temporary retirement supplement' excluded any state benefit simply because her second-pillar benefit was paid in capital form. However, the plaintiff could not establish damage by pointing to the interest earned on the capital she received.

Regeste Omnilex

LMEDA. 2; protection of legitimate expectations and assessment of damage where second-pillar benefits are taken as capital rather than as a pension. The administration is bound by the principle of good faith where its conduct or information could lead an insured person to rely on the availability of a temporary retirement supplement. The insured person cannot be required to construe the concept of a temporary retirement supplement as excluding all state benefits merely because the occupational pension is paid in a capital lump sum. Nevertheless, no compensable prejudice exists to the extent that the person has earned interest on the capital payment and cannot show an actual economic loss attributable to the administration's conduct.

LMEDA.2

Résumé

Administration liée par la protection de la bonne foi de l'administré. On ne saurait exiger de celui-ci qu'il comprenne la notion de "complément temporaire de retraite" comme excluant toute prestation de l'Etat au titre de la LMEDA à une personne qui bénéficierait de son second pilier sous forme de capital et non de rente. La demanderesse, qui a reçu un capital imposable en lieu et place d'un rente, ne peut se plaindre d'un préjudice en raison des intérêts qu'elle a pu toucher sur le capital.
