Disputes with public authorities and institutions
Have you received an administrative decision, refusal or response with which you disagree? We assess the document, issuing authority and your objective to identify the applicable procedure.
Matters to check
- The decision challenged, its date of service and who is entitled to bring a claim.
- Whether a preliminary procedure is required and the applicable time limits.
- The competent court and requirements for any application to suspend the decision.
- Documents concerning permits, licences, sanctions or unanswered applications.
An administrative offence penalty and another administrative decision may require different challenge procedures. Do not assume that a further petition or discussion with the authority suspends or extends the time limit for bringing proceedings.
Prepare your documents
Keep the complete decision, annexes, proof of service, applications submitted and responses received. Mention any approaching deadline immediately. Options, services and fees are agreed after reviewing the circumstances; no particular outcome is guaranteed.
