(Provisions for continuing damage resulting from laying mines)

Abstract

      Continuous damage is the damage that persists and is renewed by the will of its perpetrator, and it is permanently inflicted on the injured person as long as its cause remains in place. Thus, it differs from the effects of damage that remain present and extended, except that its cause occurred and ended. There are damages that result from planting the land in a minefield, which are continuous, extended and renewable damage. Planting a minefield on the ground is continuous work and a renewed assault on that piece of land.

      Continuous damage has conditions that must be met, and this Is based on distinguishing continuous damage from other types of damage. The problem lies in the fact that this type of damage extends over decades and we must distinguish it from damage that is instantaneous In occurrence but has a long-lasting effect, and the effects that result from It, and it must be distinguished. About other types of damage that you may suspect.

       The Jordanian Civil Law does not address continuing damage with special provisions, but rather this type Is subject to general provisions in terms of compensation and statute of limitations. The statute of limitations for a claim for continuing damage that results from planting mines begins after the end of the continuing state.

      Accordingly, compensation for ongoing damage resulting from the laying of mines, Its provisions, and how to prescribe a warranty claim must be stipulated In the law of the National Authority for Demining as it Is the special law concerned with this type of damage.
