Missing an administrative appeal deadline can significantly limit the available remedies. It is also important to present the relevant documents and formulate the requested remedy correctly from an early stage.

Questions & Answers
Questions about challenging public decisions
What documents should I send for an administrative matter?
Can an administrative decision be appealed?
That depends on the type of decision, the applicable law, the prescribed procedure and the deadline. After reviewing the document, we can identify the administrative or judicial route available.
Why is the date of service important?
In many administrative procedures, the legal deadline runs from formal notification or service. An envelope, electronic notice or other proof of receipt can therefore be important evidence.
Can you handle written communication with a public authority?
Depending on the matter and the form of representation, we can prepare and coordinate applications, explanations, complaints and other written submissions.
When does an administrative dispute move to court?
It depends on the decision and the remedy provided by law. We check in advance whether an administrative stage must be completed and what relief can be sought before the court.
Have you received an administrative act you disagree with?
Send the decision and the date you received it. We will first check the appeal deadline, the competent body and the facts that may strengthen your position.
