Abstract

This paper examines the profound evolution that Spanish administrative law
has undergone in the last thirty years on the crucial point relating to the supposedly
strict liability of public authorities, the feature that has historically defined it and
set it apart in comparative law and in relation to private law. After presenting the
extensive and intense debate that has taken place in Spain on this issue, which has
been the subject of some recent misrepresentation, it is argued that the dogma of the
strict liability of Spanish public authorities can now be considered abandoned, both
by legal doctrine and even by the Supreme Court. The paper also notes the role that
different types of bias among scholars and judges may have played in this debate,
and highlights the unbiased interpretation of Spanish law made twenty-five years ago
by Juan Carlos Henao, the distinguished Colombian scholar to whom posthumous
tribute is paid.
