Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
