Pays-Bas (NL)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Council of State dismissed the appellant's appeal against the municipal council's refusal of a swimming lesson subsidy. The appellant argued the subsidy condition requiring lessons at a specific pool was invalid because the explanatory note lacked a separate signature, and requested application of the hardship clause. The court held that the condition was validly established as a binding rule in the municipal execution policy and found no sufficient grounds for hardship relief.
