About this statute

This provision is the preamble to Law 678 of 2001, stating that Congress of Colombia enacts the law. This article says the law is meant to regulate patrimonial liability for public servants, former public servants, and private persons who perform public functions. This provision says the State’s action of repetition must be brought against certain public servants, former public servants, and private persons performing public functions when their dolful or seriously negligent conduct caused the State to pay damages. The provision says the action of repetition is intended to support morality and efficiency in public administration, while also serving retributive and preventive purposes. Las entidades públicas deben iniciar la acción de repetición o el llamamiento en garantía cuando el daño estatal provenga de dolo o culpa grave de sus agentes.
