Subject
An examination of whether the Orphans' Funds Development Institution qualifies as a government "circle" and the procedural consequences in an injunction suit, based on the institution's law, the Diwan's interpretation, and judicial precedent.
Summary
- Articles 3(a) and 4(a) of the institution's law indicate it is a public official institution. - The Diwan has interpreted "government circles" to include governmental entities set out in ministerial organization regulations and other entities created by legislation. - Judicial precedent has described the "government" as the State's legal personality with a financial identity; branches whose finances are integrated into the State budget are regarded as government circles. - The Institution was established by Law No. 34 of 2004, possesses legal personality and administrative and financial independence, may undertake legal acts, and its funds are not included in the State budget under its governing provisions (from Article 5 onward). - The combined reading of these texts leads to the conclusion that, although the Institution has attributes of a public or official body, it is not a "government circle" in the explained sense; therefore Article 9 of the Law on Management of State Claims does not apply and a plaintiff in an injunction suit is not required to pay the claimed amount or to provide a judicial or bank guarantee.
