Frequently asked questions
What is the time limit for challenging an administrative decision?
An action for annulment must be brought before the administrative court within sixty days of the publication or notification of the decision (Article 23 of Law No. 41-90). An administrative or hierarchical appeal lodged within this period extends it, under the conditions laid down by law. Once the period has expired, the decision can in principle no longer be annulled, which is why it is important to act quickly.
How can you challenge the amount of expropriation compensation?
Law No. 7-81 on expropriation in the public interest provides that compensation is first offered by the administration, then set by the court if the owner does not accept the offer. It must cover the direct, material and certain loss caused by the expropriation. The owner can produce comparable evidence and request a court-ordered valuation to defend the value of the property.
