COMPARING DROPPING ADMINISTRATIVE AND CIVIL LAWSUITS ACCORDING TO PROVISIONS OF THE JORDANIAN LEGISLATION

Abstract

The present study tackles the issue of dropping the administrative and civil cases. The two researchers aim to highlight common points of the cases of dropping in the Administrative Judiciary Law and the Code of Civil Procedure. The two researchers singled out the specificity of each of those cases according to the judicial rulings and the jurisprudential opinions. The most prominent cases of dropping the administrative lawsuit are the absence of one or both of the parties of the lawsuit, the withdrawal of the administrative decision, or its cancellation by the administration during the consideration of the administrative lawsuit. As for the civil lawsuit, the most prominent cases of dropping it are the non-attendance of the plaintiff or his/her guardian to the trial session or the failure to follow up on the lawsuit, as well as the cases in which both parties of the lawsuit agree to drop it, and many other cases dealt with by the two researchers in the present study.
