Compensation for an administrative decision contrary to law. Its nature.

The action for compensation therefor is barred by the long limitation period, not the annual limitation period.
Arabic original
التعويض عن القرار الإداري المخالف للقانون. طبيعته. لا يعد مرتبا وًإنما التزام بمبلغ تقدره المحكمة جزافاً وليست له صفة الدورية والتجدد. أثر ذلك. سقوط دعوى التعويض عنها بالتقادم الطويل لا بالتقادم السنوي.
