Abstract

The article below reviews legal mechanisms of the Georgian legislation use of which allows an aggrieved person to receive an opportunity to defend the right to compensation of damages caused by administrative bodies or illegal administration of justice.

The diversity of activities of an administrative body makes the issue complex, since each of those activities may separately and independently cause damages and the law prescribes various mechanisms to be used by aggrieved persons. If an aggrieved person makes a mistake and choses a wrong mechanism, then he/she will not be able to defend his/her violated right.

Selection of right defense mechanisms for claiming damages depends on two aspects: 1. Type of damages, which may be either completed or continuous; and 2. Form of activity of an administrative body. The paper reviews mentioned matters as well as issues of selecting protection mechanisms based on information related to the aspects listed above.
