Minister of Justice, Mr. Abdellatif Ouahbi said that “1984 decree about traffic accident compensations is catastrophic, while the amounts of compensations are unworthy of the value of Moroccan citizens and of human value in general.”
Minister Ouahbi added in his response to MPs questions during an oral questions session at the Parliament held last Monday, December 26, 2022, “the issue of reviewing 1984 decree and its updating has been raised several times; however, pressure faced by the government regarding regulations, (penal code procedure) is the main obstacle.
Minister Ouahbi has confirmed that 1984 decree about traffic accidents compensations will be reviewed, not only those in relation with compensations schedule, but their value as well, pointing out to the delay and non-respect of insurance companies in executing sentences about traffic accidents.
Minister Ouahbi has expressed his desire in amending that decree since it represents a kind of priority for him.
