Asturias executes two patrimonial liability judgments for damages

The Department of Mobility, Environment and Emergency Management of the Principality of Asturias has ordered the execution of two judgments from the Oviedo Court of First Instance recognizing compensation to citizens for the administrative liability of the state. Both resolutions, signed on August 11, 2026, are published in the Official Gazette of the Principality of Asturias number 163, dated August 24, 2026, in the Other Provisions section.

The rulings, issued in separate contentious-administrative appeals via summary procedure, partially uphold the claims filed against the dismissal of liability files RESP/2025/2518 and RESP/2025/2630, and compel the administration to pay the recognized amounts plus legal interest.

Two judgments, two compensations

The first resolution (code 2026-06854) executes the judgment of June 30, 2026, from Court No. 3 of the Contentious-Administrative Section of the Oviedo Court of First Instance, issued in summary procedure 75/2026, filed by the court representative Ms. M. E. L. P.—C. on behalf of Mr. E. Y. G. The ruling declares the nullity of the appealed act and recognizes the plaintiff’s right to receive 6,052.62 euros, plus legal interest from the filing of the administrative claim until full payment.

The second resolution (code 2026-06855) executes the judgment of June 23, 2026, from Court No. 2 of the Contentious-Administrative Section of the same court, in summary procedure 81/2026, filed by the court representative Mr. J. M. F. on behalf of Ms. Y. M. M. The ruling annuls the dismissal of the claim due to administrative silence and orders the administration to pay 6,116.47 euros, plus legal interest from the date of the judgment.

Concurrent fault in the second case

In file RESP/2025/2630, the judgment declares the existence of administrative liability in concurrence with fifty percent fault of the plaintiff. The claim was filed on October 9, 2025, for an accident that occurred on January 23, 2025, and the amount recognized by the administration amounts to 6,116.47 euros.

• File RESP/2025/2518: compensation of €6,052.62 plus interest; appeal amount set at €10,330.24.
• File RESP/2025/2630: compensation of €6,116.47 plus interest, with 50% concurrent fault.
• In both cases, no express imposition of costs was made.

A precedent for claims against the administration

The two resolutions, signed by the Councilor for Mobility, Environment, and Emergency Management, order publication in the Official Gazette of the Principality of Asturias and execute the judicial rulings on their own terms. The execution of these sentences reinforces the right of citizens to obtain reparation when the administration is held liable for damages caused by the operation of its services, and sets a relevant precedent for future claims of patrimonial liability in the Principality.
