Contract – Administrative Contract – Termination
Right of the Administration to Unilaterally Terminate the Contract Without Contractor Fault

In the realm of administrative contracts, it is a general principle that the public authority enjoys broad powers, including the right to unilaterally terminate the contract, even in the absence of any fault on the part of the contractor. In such cases, the contractor is only entitled to compensation, if warranted.

Naturally, this right becomes more firmly established when the contractor fails to fulfill contractual obligations, in which case the administration may exercise its rights and implement the procedures and measures stipulated in the Unified Contract Document Regulations.
