The lack of a clear determination by the legislator as to which mode of recovery is clearly appropriate (administrative or civil law mode) leads to the fact that the same case may often be subject to two parallel proceedings, as the decision on the reimbursement of a grant is of an administrative nature, whereas the grant agreement is a civil law agreement.
Such cases most often occur when a project has not been fully settled and, on the one hand, the beneficiary, who claims that he or she is implementing the agreement correctly, decides to pursue his or her claim under civil law, and, on the other hand, the institution conducts proceedings for the return of funds already paid and initiates administrative proceedings.
