Public Representations by Administrative Agencies and the Principle of Protection of Legitimate Expectations (Consultation Case)
Atlas Legal recently advised a company that it could receive substantial financial support from a local government. The main basis for this advice was the principle of protection of legitimate expectations under administrative law.
The case involved a situation where the company started a business believing in the local government’s promise of support, but the local government did not provide the promised funds.
Atlas Legal reviewed the requirements for protection of legitimate expectations and concluded that the case met all the requirements.
