Appeal against decisions

Last updated: 02.08.2024

The subject of an appeal can usually be the final decisions of a municipal institution or office holder. Decisions regarding preparation or implementation cannot be appealed.

The council's decision can be changed directly with a municipal appeal to the Administrative Court. Decisions of other institutions and office holders are initially requested to be changed by means of a rectification request. The processing of the rectification claim is the internal administrative procedure of the municipality and a mandatory preliminary stage of the municipal appeal to the administrative court.

Based on the provision of the special law, an administrative appeal can be used instead of a municipal appeal. Administrative appeals are also made to the administrative court, unless a special law provides for another appeals authority. An administrative appeal may be preceded by a rectification procedure provided for in a special law.
