The administration's liability for administrative decisions issued by it. Its basis. The existence of fault on its part, damage suffered by the person concerned, and a causal relationship between the fault and the damage. An award of compensation is not a necessary consequence of a ruling of annulment. - It being established that the defect affecting the decision for which compensation is claimed is a defect affecting the substance of the decision and thus constitutes a proper basis for compensation. The implication thereof: there is no basis for maintaining that the administrative entity is exempt from liability for its fault. The challenged judgment's contravention of this view. Renders it defective.
Arabic original
مسئولية الإدارة عن القرارات الإدارية الصادرة منها. مناطها. وجود خطأ من جانبها وأن يحيق بصاحب الشأن ضرر وقيام علاقة السببية بين الخطأ والضرر. القضاء بالتعويض ليس من مستلزمات القضاء بالإلغاء. - ثبوت أن العيب الذي شاب القرار المطالب بالتعويض عنه هو عيب مؤثر في موضوع القرار فيصلح أساساً للتعويض. مؤدي ذاك: إن إعفاء الجهة الإدارية من مسئوليتها عن خطئها لا وجه للقول به. مخالفة الحكم المطعون فيه هذا النظر. بعيبه.
