The responsible person is jointly liable along with the State, subject to the specific provisions on liability of Ministers. Article 106: The provisions of the two preceding articles apply to the liability of the municipalities or other public legal entities for the acts and omissions of the organs in their service. The Nature and Extent of the Liability of Public Authorities Strict Liability No Need for Violation of Specific Law The liability of the State or the Local Authorities or the Public Legal Entities is strict, i.e. does not depend on the existence of fault on the part of the organ that caused the damage (Supreme Court 266/1982, Supreme Court Plenary 382/2001, Council of State 1413/2006). The public authorities are liable not only in case an act or omission has been in violation of a specific provision of law, but also when the public organs omitted specific tasks and obligations peculiar to their service, imposed by the general legislation and regulations, or the common experience and the principles of good faith (Council of State 2796/2006, 2741/2007, 1019/2008). The Nature and Extent of the Liability of Public Authorities Causal Link A necessary, however, prerequisite for the award of compensation is, inter alia, the existence of a causal link between the unlawful act or omission or material action or omission of a material act of public bodies and the loss suffered. A causal link exists when, according to common experience, the act or omission has been sufficiently capable (adequate), in the normal course of events, to lead to injury. (Council of State 1024/2005, 1749/2003, 1223/2002). 23 The Nature and Extent of the Liability of Public Authorities Available Remedies Pecuniary Damages Compensation of all past, present and future losses. Non pecuniary Damages In case of personal injury: moral damages for the pain and suffering of the injured party. In case of death: moral damages for the grief and sorrow to the family of the deceased. Special Compensation of Article 931 Greek Civil Code The invalidity or disfigurement that has been caused to the injured person is particularly taken into consideration for the award of the compensation, if this affects his future. Establishes a separate and independent head of compensation in personal injury cases where there is some sort of physical deformation and impairment that has adverse effects to the personal, social and economic development of the injured party, which although not specifically quantifiable in terms of economic loss, should be compensated. The Nature and Extent of the Liability of Public Authorities Concurrent Compensation Greek Civil Code Article 930 para. 3 The claim for compensation shall not be excluded for the reason that another person is liable to pay compensation or to provide for the upkeep of the victim.
