95Furthermore, the objective of an administrative inquiry is, as has been previously stated, to ascertain the facts and, having done so, to take the appropriate action, in full knowledge of the matter both in relation to the case that is the subject of the inquiry and, more generally, in order to comply with the principle of sound administration, to prevent such a situation from recurring. Furthermore, the results of an administrative inquiry may either confirm the allegations of psychological harassment, confirmation which may be useful for the victim in seeking compensation for possible harm suffered by means of proceedings against the alleged harasser before a national court, or invalidate the allegations of the purported victim, invalidation which then makes it possible to repair the harm that such an, ultimately unfounded, accusation may have caused to the person against whom the allegations of harassment have been made in such an inquiry.
