Sections 38 and 39, Chapter

9, Book I of the Administrative

Code of 1987 cover the civil

liability of officers for acts done

in the performance of official

duties. By the very language of

these provisions, the liability for

unlawful expenditures is civil.

Nonetheless, since these

provisions are situated in

Chapter 9, Book I of the

Administrative Code of 1987

entitled "General Principles

Governing Public Officers," the

liability is inextricably linked

with the administrative law

sphere.
