AI generated

The administrative court declined jurisdiction and declared a submitted appeal inadmissible because, under the relevant law, jurisdiction for insurance matters rests with the court in the canton of the insured person's domicile at the time the appeal is filed, and the appellant had established a new domicile in the canton of Valais by the filing date of November 3, 2004, even though the appeal was initially filed with the court of Neuchâtel; consequently, the court transmitted the case ex officio to the Insurance Court of the canton of Valais without imposing costs.

Réf. : TA.2004.277-AMAL

C O N S I D E R A N T

que, en vertu de l'article 58 al.1 LPGA, le tribunal des assurances compétent est celui du canton de domicile de l’assuré ou d’une autre partie au moment du dépôt du recours,

que, par autre partie, il faut entendre le tiers ayant déposé recours (ATFA non publié du 05.12.2003 rendu en la cause H. [K 69/03]),

que, contrairement à la teneur de l'article 86 al.3 aLAMal, depuis l'entrée en vigueur de la LPGA, il n'y a plus de fors alternatifs à choix au domicile de l'assuré ou au siège de l'assureur, seul le premier subsistant (Kieser, ATSG-Kommentar, no 3, ad art.58), que L. s'est constitué un nouveau domicile dans le canton du Valais depuis le 31 août 2004, que, lorsqu'il a déposé son recours en date du 3 novembre 2004, il n'était ainsi plus domicilié dans le canton de Neuchâtel,

qu'il s'ensuit que la Cour de céans doit décliner sa compétence, à raison du lieu, et transmettre d'office la cause au Tribunal cantonal des assurances du canton du Valais,

que, partant, le recours doit être déclaré irrecevable, sans frais,

Par ces motifs*, LE TRIBUNAL ADMINISTRATIF

1. Décline sa compétence.

2. Déclare le recours irrecevable.

3. Transmet la cause au Tribunal des assurances du canton du Valais.

4. Dit qu'il n'est pas perçu de frais de justice.
