Determining The Proportion of Liability for Wrongful Act Arising From Officials

Abstract

This academic article aims to study the criteria for determining liability for wrongful act arising from officials under section 8 of the Liability for Wrongful Deed of Officials Act B.E. 2539.

The result reveals that the proportion of liability of officials is not specified in the provisions of the mentioned section. It causes each department responsible for law enforcement to use different discretion and cause unfairness to officials and make the government lose the opportunities to receive appropriate payment. Therefore, this article presents the criteria for determining the proportion of liability of the offending officers in the same direction.
