Abstract

This paper aims to study the recent developments in appealing public procurement contracts (Alhamidah, 2007) by examining the expansion of the administrative judiciary in Egypt in accepting appeals filed against contracts concluded by the state to invalidate contracts tainted by the waste of public money. This paper relied on the analytical approach to analyze several details of the subject under study based on the legal and constitutional frameworks regulating state contracts. In addition, it will examine the judicial rulings issued by the Egyptian State Council. The study reached the significant expansion adopted by the Egyptian State Council in monitoring state contracts, which resulted in the issuance of Law No. 32 of 2014, limiting the right to appeal state contracts to the benefit of the two parties to the contract only.
