English translation of the principle

The certificate issued by the municipality to the building owner for submission to obtain an electricity connection. Its prerequisite. The building’s conformity with the specifications of the permit for its construction. Its nonconformity with the permit. Necessary consequence. The municipality must refrain from issuing the certificate without distinguishing between minor and serious violations. Reason: the mere occurrence of a violation presupposes harm to the public interest. A judgment departing from that. An error requiring its cassation. Example.
Arabic original
