Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the 17 December 2001 Vaud order on daily resident contributions should be annulled for violating equality and the prohibition of arbitrariness.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The calculation method was too indirect and unrelated to the residents' own housing situation, creating unjustified differences between residents and between institutions.
Motivazione estratta
The contribution was based mainly on the establishment's financial relations with the State and did not correspond to any direct service to residents. The resulting tariff differences were excessive and not justified by differences in housing quality.
