Matters we handle there
Many Salé residents work in Rabat, which leads to employment law cases and commuting or road traffic accidents. The large housing estates and the medina give rise to disputes over co-ownership, leases, joint ownership and inheritance. Family matters (divorce, maintenance, custody) are heard by the Family Justice Section of the Salé court, while commercial and administrative disputes go before the specialised courts in Rabat.

Frequently asked questions
Can a civil servant challenge a disciplinary sanction?
Yes. The sanction can be challenged before the administrative court, in particular if the disciplinary procedure was not followed (rights of defence, consultation of the disciplinary board) or if the sanction is disproportionate. The time limit is sixty days from notification of the decision. It is advisable to keep all the documents from the procedure.
Can you obtain compensation for harm caused by the administration?
Yes. The State and local authorities are liable for harm caused directly by the operation of their services and by the service-related faults of their staff (Article 79 of the Code of Obligations and Contracts). Compensation claims fall within the jurisdiction of the administrative court. The claimant must prove the harm and its link with the administrative activity.
