The evolution of digital administration has given rise to a new form of public service delivery: the electronic public facility. This paper examines the legal framework governing the operation and liability of such facilities, with a focus on French administrative law principles. Through an analysis of fault-based and non-fault-based liability, the paper explores how risk theory and the principle of equality before public burdens apply in the digital context. It further considers the role of foreign causes in excluding liability and anticipates future developments in state responsibility as public administration becomes increasingly automated and data-driven. The research ultimately calls for a re-evaluation of traditional doctrines to ensure fairness, accountability, and legal protection for citizens interacting with digital public services.
