Court dismisses student's appeal for energy allowance, ruling exclusion is justified and no harm caused by lack of motivation.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the applicant's appeal against the refusal of an energy allowance, upholding the administrative body's categorical exclusion of students. The applicant argued this violated equality principles, but the court found the distinction justified by statistical data showing most students do not face significant energy cost increases. Although the court noted a minor motivation defect in the final decision, it ruled this did not cause the applicant any prejudice.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 35 lid 4 Pw; Art. 6:22 Awb: A categorical exclusion of students from a one-off energy allowance is not arbitrary or disproportionate, and a minor motivation defect does not constitute a violation if no prejudice is caused.
