Sintesi Omnilex

The court upheld a CHF 10,000 fine imposed for a further breach of a permit to transform a building. It held that the amount was proportionate in light of the seriousness of the fault and recidivism within less than two years. The appellant’s difficult financial situation did not warrant a reduction, especially since he had again destroyed elements considered architecturally important.

Massima Omnilex

LCI art. 137 al. 1 et 3; proportionality of an administrative fine for breach of a building permit and recidivism. In assessing the sanction, account is taken of the seriousness of the infringement, the offender’s fault, and any repeat offence, in particular where the new breach occurs within a short period. A fine of CHF 10,000 may be upheld as proportionate, even described as modest, where the violator again disregards the authorization and damages architecturally significant elements. Difficult financial circumstances do not, by themselves, require mitigation when the gravity of the conduct and recidivism prevail.

Résumé

Une amende de CHF 10'000.-, sanctionnant une nouvelle transgression de l'autorisation de transformer un immeuble, peut être qualifiée de "tout-a-fait proportionnée", eu égard à la gravité de la faute et à la récidive, intervenue dans un délai de moins de 2 ans. La situation personnelle, financièrement difficile, du recourant ne permet pas de pondérer ce montant, compte tenu des éléments qui précèdent. Une amende de dix mille francs peut être considérée comme modeste eu égard au fait que l'administré viole pour la seconde fois la législation sur les constructions, en détruisant, au mépris de l'autorisation délivrée, des éléments dont la commission des monuments, de la nature et des sites (ci-après: CMNS) avait retenu l'intérêt architectural.

Questione giuridica chiave

Whether the CHF 10,000 administrative fine for a second breach of the building permit was proportionate under the construction law provisions.

Decisione estratta

The fine was proportionate. Given the seriousness of the fault and the repeat offence within less than two years, CHF 10,000 could be regarded as even modest; the appellant's difficult financial situation did not justify reduction.

Motivazione estratta

The court relied on the gravity of the conduct, the recidivism in a short period, and the fact that the appellant again destroyed elements considered architecturally significant by the monuments and sites commission. Those factors outweighed his financial difficulties.
