Morocco’s Public Agency of the Judiciary has announced the formation of a committee drafting new legislation to amend the law governing the powers of the Public Prosecutor. A key provision of the proposed law prioritizes amicable settlement mechanisms before resorting to judicial proceedings in disputes involving the administration. The agency is coordinating with relevant departments to establish a legal framework requiring mandatory pre-litigation administrative claims before citizens can sue government entities. This aims to streamline dispute resolution and potentially reduce the burden on the courts. The initiative reflects a broader effort to encourage out-of-court settlements and improve efficiency within the Moroccan legal system. Details of the draft law are still being finalized, but the emphasis on mediation signals a shift in approach to administrative justice. The agency believes this will foster a more collaborative relationship between citizens and the administration.
