Government Sets 100-Dinar Fee for Canceling Administrative Decisions

 Administrative Department rulings can be appealed if the dispute exceeds 10,000 dinars or is unspecified; otherwise, they are final.

Court of Appeal rulings can be appealed by cassation if the dispute exceeds 30,000 dinars or is unspecified.

At its meeting, the Council of Ministers approved a draft decree law amending certain provisions of Decree Law No. 20 of 1981. This amendment proposes the creation of a department within the Court of First Instance to handle administrative disputes, with the goal of expediting case resolution by increasing the fees for cancellation and suspension requests, according to Al Anba newspaper.

The law stipulates a fixed fee of 100 dinars for each request for cancellation and suspension of implementation, with the fee increasing based on the number of decisions and requests.

Judgments issued by the Administrative Department of the Court of First Instance are subject to appeal if the dispute’s value is not specified or exceeds 10,000 dinars. Otherwise, the ruling is final and cannot be appealed.

Two new articles, numbered “12 bis” and “14 bis,” are added to Decree Law No. 20 of 1981. These articles stipulate that rulings issued by the Court of Appeal based on Clause Four of Article (1) of this law shall be final, except in cases involving penalties, dismissal, or removal from service.

Additionally, rulings issued by the administrative departments of the Court of Appeal may be appealed by cassation if the dispute’s value exceeds 30,000 dinars or if the value is not estimated.
