Civil Servant Relocation Reimbursement Denial Due to Administrative Silence

Civil Servant Relocation Reimbursement Denial Due to Administrative Silence: A civil servant, following a service transfer, requested reimbursement for relocation expenses, arguing the administration had tacitly accepted their claim by remaining silent for several months after the official submission; however, the court rejected the claim, reasoning that administrative silence in response to a request for reimbursement of expenses related to mandatory service transfer, absent any specific legal provision or established administrative practice establishing a presumption of acceptance from silence, does not equate to tacit approval, thus requiring an express decision for the claim to be legally recognized and payable.
