Question juridique clé
Whether children receiving half IV child pensions are entitled to child allowances under § 6(2) of the Solothurn Family Allowances Act.
Solution extraite
No. The court held that all recipients of child pensions, including half child pensions, are excluded from child-allowance entitlement.
Motifs extraits
The statutory text and legislative materials show an intent to avoid cumulation of public social benefits. The court found no genuine gap requiring judicial filling; it inferred that the legislature meant to exclude all child-pension recipients, and the higher amount of the child pension compared with the allowance supported that reading.
