Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal of family allowances for children over 16 abroad violates equal treatment under Art. 8 BV
Decisione estratta
No. The distinction for children living outside the EU/EFTA area is justified by treaty obligations for EU/EFTA states and by practical proof difficulties abroad.
Motivazione estratta
The court relied on its recent precedent upholding the cantonal rule; the unequal treatment is based on international obligations for EU/EFTA states and on the difficulty of reliably verifying foreign education situations outside those areas.
