<\/a> The Supreme Constitutional Court has upheld the Appeals Against State <\/strong>Contracts Act, <\/strong>rejecting a case that sought to have the act thrown out as unconstitutional, according to Al Shorouk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About the Act: <\/strong>The Appeals Against State Contracts Act prohibits third-party lawsuits against individual contracts with the state. That means that only those parties involved in a state contract can bring a lawsuit regarding it \u2014 unless parties to a contract have been convicted of a financial crime.<\/p>\n

Background: <\/strong>Signed into law by former interim president Adly Mansour in 2014, the bill was part of a post-revolution push to limit the ability of Islamist, Nasserist and other publicity-seeking lawyers to insert themselves into state contracts (and to sue cabinet members and public servants), arguing that they were doing so in the public interest.<\/p>\n

What were the Supremes ruling on? <\/strong>The Administrative Court had asked the Supreme Constitutional Court to rule on the constitutionality of the act as part of a years-old case brought by employees of the Nubaria Seed Production Company (NUBASEED) against the government's decision to privatize<\/a> the company.<\/p>\n

Good news for the privatization program? <\/strong>The law was designed to boost investor confidence and streamline asset sales. Its being declared constitutional will provide additional comfort to investors as the state relaunches its privatization program<\/a>, which aims to attract USD 40 bn in private investment by 2026 through public share offerings, stake sales to strategic investors, and expanding public-private partnerships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
