Transition from Administrative Law to Civil Law in Insurance Coverage in Rijswijk

Introduction

In Rijswijk, a municipality near The Hague with many housing development projects, administrative law disputes often evolve into civil proceedings, such as damage claims against the Municipality of Rijswijk. Policy conditions of local insurers regulate this transition carefully, taking into account the busy administrative practice in the region.

When Transition?

• After judgment of the administrative court in The Hague: continuation in civil court for compensation, relevant for residents of Rijswijk.
• Hybrid cases: expropriation for infrastructure projects such as the A4 expansion (administrative and civil law).

Coverage Rules

Basic coverage for administrative law in Rijswijk extends to civil law provided the policy is 'integrated', as with many Haaglanden providers. Otherwise, an additional module is required. Limit: €50,000 total per case, with possible increase for local risks.

Conditions

• The cause must lie in a covered administrative dispute with the Rijswijk municipality.
• No separate notification required for the subsequent procedure, but consult the policy for Rijswijk-specific clauses.

Examples

Building permit for a house in Rijswijk-Buiten refused → civil claim against the Municipality of Rijswijk for plan damage. Social welfare benefit terminated by Rijswijk social services → damage procedure in civil court.

Exclusions

Purely private disputes between Rijswijk residents, such as neighbor disputes, fall outside the coverage.

Advice
