Frequently asked questions
- How long do I have to appeal an authority's decision?
- Deadlines for going to an administrative court are limited and depend on the category of case (often six months, sometimes much less). It's best to seek advice as soon as you receive the decision.
- Can a fine be appealed?
- Yes — a ruling on an administrative offense can be appealed within the set deadline. I'll help assess the prospects and prepare the appeal.
- How is the administrative process different from a civil one?
- In administrative cases one party is a public authority, and it is that authority that must prove its decision was lawful. This creates additional opportunities for the defense.
