The Athens Administrative Court issued two significant rulings regarding liability and compensation. In one case, the court awarded €15,000 to a woman injured by a broken metal signpost on a municipal sidewalk, citing the municipality’s failure to maintain public infrastructure. 

In a separate ruling, the court ordered €110,000 in compensation to a football fan who suffered permanent vision loss after being struck by a police baton. The court held law enforcement liable for using excessive force that exceeded legal permissions. Both decisions emphasize the legal obligations of local authorities and police to maintain public safety and avoid disproportionate violence.
