Analysis of the share of payments made from the state budget to entitled applicants as a result of court rulings in public liability cases. To receive 1 point, the administration needs to present evidence that at least one payment was made to an entitled applicant in a public liability case during the latest full calendar year and there is a system for planning and enforcing compensation payments in public liability cases. To receive 2 or 3 points, the administration needs to present SIGMA with a complete list of final court rulings in public liability cases (from, for example, the ministry of justice or the court administration) as well as a list of compensation payments to entitled applicants with court case numbers from the ministry of finance. SIGMA calculates the percentage of payments by reconciling the two lists. Both lists are generated for the latest full calendar year, and only court rulings that were enforceable (subject to payment) within that year are counted. The number of payments includes only payments made for compensating the unlawful act of the state, i.e. all payments made by the state to cover the court costs are excluded. If several payments are to be made on the basis of one court ruling (e.g. there are several applicants), all such payments are calculated as one payment and all of them have to be paid out in order to consider the payment as being made. If there are no public liability cases, it is considered evidence that the public liability regime is not functioning and no points are awarded.
