Résumé

The appellant challenged the refusal to grant a remission of a housing-related surcharge/prestation. The court held that remission is intended for social hardship situations, not for difficulties arising from a voluntary investment in a vacation chalet purchased with CHF 100,000 in own funds. The appeal was therefore dismissed.

Regest

RLGL 9 al. 2; RLGL 11; remission of a housing-related surcharge/prestation. Remission is reserved for genuine social hardship. Financial distress that results from a voluntary capital investment in the purchase of a vacation chalet does not constitute a social case warranting remission; the applicant cannot rely on hardship that is self-created by such an investment.
