Artikel 99 Myndighetens ansvar

Summary What does Article 99 of the Anti-money laundering authority regulation (AMLAR) say?

This article addresses liability arrangements for AMLA, covering two distinct angles: the Authority's own liability for damage it or its staff may cause, and the internal liability of staff towards the Authority itself.

It is a relatively brief but important governance provision that establishes where legal responsibility sits and which forum has jurisdiction when things go wrong.

Important points:

The Authority is required to make good any damage caused by it or its staff in the performance of their duties, in line with general principles common to Member State laws.
The Court of Justice of the European Union has jurisdiction over disputes relating to the remedying of such damage.
The personal financial and disciplinary liability of staff towards the Authority is governed by the provisions applicable to Authority staff.
