The composition of collective bodies exercising administrative functions on behalf of national and local government and associated entities, and the serious adverse consequences of ignoring the relevant requirements, have been recurring themes in recent cases in the Administrative Court.

Facts

A recent case concerned the legality of a tender for the development of a new €200 million-plus marina in Paphos. The tender for the project was first announced in 2007 and originally awarded to one of the three bidding consortia, but the two unsuccessful bidders successfully challenged the award on the grounds that the winning developer had used inside information.
