Uruguay's public procurement
What the State pays for losing lawsuits
When a public body loses a lawsuit, the damages come out of the budget. Uruguay's national budget breaks spending down by expense object, and seven of those objects name a judicial cause: court judgments, judicial settlements and health injunctions. This is what was set aside to pay them, year by year and body by body.
The budget names no cases and no people. No figure on this page says whom the State compensated or why; it says how much money was set aside under an expense object whose official name is a judgment, a judicial settlement or an injunction. The case-by-case record is not public data: judgments sit as prose in the National Jurisprudence Database, and the registry that does hold the amounts, RUJE, is not published.
Judicial spending has not been loaded yet. Run the load-judicial-spending job.
