Objection Against The Protocol Of Compensation Assessment For Unauthorized Use Of Public Property

Summary: In cases where an individual or legal entity appropriates or uses public property without having a contractual relationship with the State and consequently derives benefits to the detriment of the State, a Protocol of Compensation Assessment for Unauthorized Use of Public Property is issued by the competent public authority. This act essentially aims to return to the State a financial equivalent, as compensation, from the unauthorized possessor or user of the public property, for the damage caused. In this memorandum, we will outline the key legal aspects of this protocol and proceed with a detailed analysis of the sole legal remedy available to challenge or modify it — the objection — with emphasis on specific legal issues.
