Official liability

Liability of a public body for unlawful and culpable conduct by its organs in enforcing the law.

In brief

Official liability is governed by the Official Liability Act. The relevant questions are organ conduct, unlawfulness, fault, causation and the concrete loss.

Special requirements and procedural steps may apply before proceedings. The responsible public body and the link to sovereign action must be clear.
