Appeal Against an Administrative Decision

An appeal against an administrative decision is a formal legal remedy that allows a participant in administrative proceedings to challenge the decision of a first-instance administrative authority before a higher authority if there has been a material or procedural error. The appeal is submitted to the authority that issued the decision and must be filed within 15 days of receiving the decision. If the decision lacks information about the appeal deadline, the period is extended to 3 months. The first-instance authority may decide on the appeal itself if it fully accepts it and if the decision does not concern other participants or they agree. Otherwise, the appeal is forwarded to the higher authority for a decision. Our experienced lawyers are ready to assist you in drafting and submitting appeals, as well as in representing you before administrative authorities.

Administrative Lawsuits and Judicial Review of Authority Decisions

Slovak law allows for judicial review of the legality of decisions, measures, and actions of public authorities through administrative lawsuits. This serves as a protection mechanism for individuals and legal entities whose rights have been violated by administrative decisions.

An administrative lawsuit is typically filed after all regular remedies (such as appeals) have been exhausted and the decision becomes final. Judicial review is pursued when there are no other means to assert one’s rights. The lawsuit must usually be filed within two months of receiving the final decision of the appeal authority.

Our law firm LEXANTE offers comprehensive legal services in judicial review of administrative decisions.
