New High Court department to tackle administrative disputes
A 100 dinar fee applies to each cancellation or suspension request, with judgments from the Administrative Chamber of the High Court appealable if the dispute exceeds 10,000 dinars or is not specified.
Decree-Law No. 94 of 2024, amending Decree-Law No. 20 of 1981, establishes a department in the High Court to handle administrative disputes, according to Al Rai newspaper.

The texts of Articles 11 and 12 of Decree-Law No. 20 of 1981 shall be replaced with the following:
Article 11 (first paragraph): A fixed fee of one hundred dinars shall be imposed on cancellation and suspension requests, with the fee multiplied by the number of decisions and requests.
Article 12: Judgments issued by the Administrative Chamber of the High Court shall be subject to appeal if the dispute’s value is not estimated or exceeds ten thousand dinars; otherwise, the judgment shall be final.
