case for/of hardship


Explanation:
I think we must make a distinction between hardship case and hardship claim. In this case the formulation mentions hardship case. Härtefall/Härtefallregelung
(recht.oeffentlich.verwaltung.at)
(engl. hard case/hardship exemption )
Von einer Härtefallregelung spricht man, wenn ein Gesetz bei bestimmten grundsätzlichen Eingriffen/Belastungen für Härtefälle Ausnahmen vorsieht. So kann z.B. ein Hochschulgesetz grundsätzlich die Exmatrikulation vorsehen, wenn nicht innerhalb von 6 Semestern bestimmte Prüfungen bestanden wurden und davon für Härtefalle aber Ausnahmen machen.
unzumutbare Härte isD 1565 Abs. 2 BGB
(recht.zivil.materiell.familie.scheidung)
Eine unzumutbare Härte im Sinne des § 1565 Abs. 2 BGB als Voraussetzung für eine Scheidung vor Ablauf eines einjährigen Trennungsjahres liegt vor, wenn ein besonnener Dritter angesichts auf das Verhalten des anderen Partners ohne das Trennungsjahrung abzuwarten mit einer Scheidung reagieren würde.
If you are married and you fall in love with someone else, you have to wait a year before you can legally start a divorce. In the above example cases of hardship in such a case is being referred to.
