Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The applicant filed requests for revision and interpretation concerning an administrative decision. The tribunal held that the revision request was inadmissible because no revision ground was alleged, and that the interpretation request was also inadmissible. It further held that the applicant was not entitled to a procedural indemnity despite partial success, in particular because no court fee was levied. The outcome reflects the tribunal's broad discretion on procedural compensation.

Omnilex headnote

LPA art. 80; revision and interpretation remedies are inadmissible absent a cognizable statutory ground or an actual interpretative need. Procedural compensation is governed by the tribunal's broad discretion; there is no general entitlement to an indemnity where the appeal is only partly successful, especially if no judicial fee is charged.

L'octroi d'une indemnité de procédure est soumis au large pouvoir d'appréciation du Tribunal administratif et il n'existe aucun droit à une indemnité en cas d'admission partielle d'un recours.
