Extraído pela Omnilex
The TA dealt with a challenge to an 800 CHF fine imposed by the DIEAR for training a dog for hunting. It found that the decision was null because the DIEAR was obviously not competent to impose this penal sanction. The appellant therefore succeeded in having the fine set aside.
LFaune.42; competence of the sanctioning authority; an administrative decision imposing a fine of penal nature is null when issued by an authority lacking obvious competence. The court may raise such incompetence ex officio and, where the defect is manifest, annul the sanction without examining the merits of the offence.
