Frequently asked questions
What is the period for filing suit against an administrative act?
As a general rule, an annulment action must be filed before the competent administrative court within 60 days of service of the administrative act. This period is forfeiture; applications after expiry are rejected on procedural grounds.
What is the difference between annulment and full remedy actions?
An annulment action reviews the lawfulness of the administrative act (competence, form, reason, subject, purpose). A full remedy action concerns compensation for material or moral damage caused by an act or action of the administration. In some disputes, compensation may be sought together with or following an annulment action.
Why is legal support important in disciplinary investigations?
The right of defence and opportunity to present evidence are essential in disciplinary penalties against public officials. Legal support during the investigation contributes to conducting the process in accordance with legislation and to correctly structuring objection processes where irregularities exist.
