Property Owner v. Municipal Council: Connection Fee Calculation Based on Gross Volume Upheld
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA property owner challenged the calculation of connection fees levied by a municipal council, specifically contesting the use of the building's gross volume (Kubatur) for the assessment, arguing that only the usable living space should be considered. The court upheld the municipality's decision, reasoning that the relevant municipal regulation explicitly provided for calculating the fees based on the gross volume, and in the absence of a clear regulatory basis or established practice to limit the calculation to usable space, the higher authority was bound by the specific terms of the local ordinance regarding connection fees.
