FINAL JUDGEMENT

DEBONO JOSEPH vs DIRETTUR EZEKUTTIV TAL-YACHTING CENTRES - 1408/2000/1 - CIVILI, PRIM AWLA, MALTA

AWTORITA` MARITTIMA, FUNZJONIJIET U POTERI TA`

L-artikolu 6(1) tal A.L. 71/1992) jipprovvdi li "Yachts shall berth or moor or shift berth at a yachting centre, where and when directed by the Executive Director"

L-artikolu 8 " A yacht relinquishing its berth for a time in excess of 24 hrs shall forfeit the right to that berth unless the Executive Director, upon prior notice of absence from a yachting centre, otherwise directs".

Minn dawn ir-regolament jidher car li hi fis-setgha u fid-diskrezzjoni ta' l-Awtorita', kif vestita bil-ligi msemmija, li tohrog regolamenti li jirregolaw l-uzu ta' irmiggi. L-Awtorita' tipprovdi berths li jigu assenjati lill-sid ta' bastiment u dina tista' tinbidel mill-Awtorita' skond l-esigenzi tal-Marina. Is-sidien ihallsu tariffa ghall uzu tal-berth lilhom koncess, liema uzu jigi mgedded minnzmien ghall-zmien ma kull pagament li jsir. Dan ma jfissirx li l-Awtorita' hija obbligata li tkompliggedded din il-koncessjoni b'mod permanenti u indefinitiv.

Il-posizzjoni legali hija li l-Awtorita' ghandha s-setgha li tipprovdi u tizgura l-provvediment ta' servizz ta' irmigg lill-bastimenti u ghandha s-setgha li tordna fejn xi bastiment ghandu jirmiggja. Hi l-Awtorita' biss li ghandha dan id-dritt li tiddetermina l-hrug tal-permessi relattivi.
