Appeal against administrative rulings in Jordan

Abstract

The Jordanian legislator adopted the principle of double judiciary and permitted the appeal against judgments issued by the Administrative Court. The Supreme Administrative Court has the authority to control the law and fact. Whenever the judgment marred with one of the reasons for nullity stipulated in the law, the court has the power to annul or amend the judgment. When the Supreme Administrative Court considers the appeal, it takes the position of the Administrative Court. It adheres to the scope of the litigants and does not accept any new request that the litigants did not raise before the Court of First Instance. Also, it has the authority to stay the execution of the judgment appealed judgment as an exception.
